Sapam Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 For graphics card i would suggest you go for GeForce Series card as they are natively supported by choosing "Titan NV40" during install. I got XFX Geforce 6600GT 128MB and i got CI/QE working out of the box. If you are buying a new Motherboard then check the "Hardware compatibility list" at: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrazilMAC Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hi, I have the same processor and amount of ram as you (OCZ Reaper 2GB). My motherboard of choice is the Asus P5WDH Deluze, since everything works fine. I was also able to run my e4300 at 3.4GHZ Stable. For a video card, get the Gforce Series. Since you willb e dealing with Final Cut, get a really good one!!!! I have a 7900GTX OCed card modded to be a Quadro FX5500. The perfect card for video/3D/graphics use. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borisbadenov Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I will say this to you and all others should heed this advice before making ANY purchase for osx86. Sapam knows this well. Always look at the HCL (Hardware Combatibility List) before buying anything. It will save a lot of headache after the fact. I would help you regarding your purchase but my spanish is terrible Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl8080 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 For ease of installation go with a P5W DH Deluxe. I can also recommend the motherboard I have (check sig). I haven't tried to get onboard sound to work becasue i have an OSX compatible external soundcard. Firewire, USB, Ethernet all working out of the box. Also for the sakes of easy installation go for a 256mb geforce card (once again check the HCL wiki.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
