mindXploder Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'm planning to assemble a osx86 compatible box using an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which is not supported by an older motherboard, such as D945 (which has the sluggish GMA 950 as onboard video and therefore is 100% compatible with osx86). My question is simple: will the motherboard AND the GMA 3100 videoboard work a 100%?

mindXploder Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 You are right! (Sorry for asking before doing a proper research, by the way..) I have found Gigabyte's GA-945GM-S2 to be just the perfect choice. It handles Core 2 Duo, has GMA 950 embedded, has great reviews about its quality and it's cheaper! Thanks for the tip.. and, indeed, google is my friend Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60591-intel-dg33bu-gma-3100/#findComment-430464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmoncu Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 i wonder if this question is still valid (from the threadstarter), given that leopard supports gma3100 already.

delish Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 If you read the tread about X3100 in the drivers forum, you will see that GMA 3100 thats on socket 775 cards isnt the same as GMA X3100 thats Leopard has drivers for.
