niteman1969 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hi All, well my gigabyte board bit the dust the other day when there was a power spike. Fortunately the other components were unaffected and I sold the processor and memory to a friend. I could not even think of selling the hdd's as they have everything on them. Anyway this is the setup I have just bought. Abit IP35-E review here Core 2 Duo E6600 2GB Corsair XMS DDR2 800 Memory ATI X800XT ( was on a budget and this cost so little it was amazing). 550W Antec Power Supply I will be using my 4x 500gb Sata-2 Drives as per usual. Here are the main things that made me chose this board it has Realtek ALC888 audio and Marvell Gigabit Lan 88E8056 which I believe can be used in osx86?? As for the Radeon X800XT it is a gigabyte and passively cooled I know the performance in osx86 will be poor but I will get myself another card when I have the funds. This is a stop-gap solution as I only had £23 left to get a PCi-E graphics card after I had bought everything else. This will be replaced with a 256mb nvidia 7950 when I get the chance. Apart from the Graphics card anyone see any major problems with this config???? Parts should be arriving Monday 13th/ Tuesday 14th.

Serenity Prospect Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 How did you load it and do you have any notes, I have the same setup and would like to try loading osx on mine. I am a novice and would greatly appreciate your help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59850-abit-ip35-e/#findComment-442882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yes, do tell us if the IP35 works because that would be an excellent budget board. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59850-abit-ip35-e/#findComment-444879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
