josh256 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I recommend you save up $50 and buy a new 945-based mobo with gma 950 and compatible sound/nic (there's at least 10 decent brands/boards between $40 and $80) *EDIT: this would cost less than getting a reasonably compatible AGP card working and would provide ancillary benefits [such as a PCI-e slot!])* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63488-sound-does-not-work-when-i-safe-boot/#findComment-449921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadybootleggin Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 hey , now there is a thought ... i'll do a little shopping around... the 'puter is one of those small form factor type , so as long as i can find a mobo for it , it'll be no prob... i got a macbook at home .. this (hackintosh )is more like a hobbie 'puter.. i got it cheap and this is keeping me amused at work..Thanks again!

josh256 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yeah no worries on that front as almost all of the current 945s are mATX (vs. ATX)... Be absolutely sure to get something that you know works 100%, the MSI 945-GM3 supports 1066MHz FSB (read decent CPUs and faster RAM), audio works w/ the Azalia installer (included w/ most install discs) and the GMA 950 w/ the installer (included w/ most install ISOs) and lastly the NIC works with a RT1000x installer (not on all ISOs but dead simple to find..).. Your existing CPU and RAM likely don't need a higher end chipset however it's a bonus (and the GMA950 will hold you over till you need to do some heavier [3D] lifting).. Only thing to watch out for is your CPU-socket type... if you're really ancient (pre-775) there are still ASRock mobos floating around w/ GMA950 but you'll loose the PCI-e likely (read: spend the extra $75 for a new CPU at newegg.com or something..)
