Midani Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Im looking to build an OSX. I would buy a mac, which i did, but want a pretty powerful computer. What components would you guys recomend that can run everything the best? Processor - I am looking at the E6750 or E6850 - Im thinking they would be fine (correct me if im wrong) because they are core 2 duo which is what macs use. Motherbaord - This is where i am STUCK. I know which motherboards are good (asus p5w deluxe, bad axe 2) but i want one that has SLI as i will be using it for my windows (and hopefully osx86 if its ever supported) Video card - mac.nub released an 8800 series fix that i can use 8800 series cards. i will most likely purchase 8800gt since its almost as good as the GTX but is half the price. Guys please help me out i will be ordering all of these really soon. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midani Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 There are SO many threads here about that.What about some more reading? I looked everywhere and couldint find anything. Im sure there are threads like this but what do i search? i tried that. I just want someone to give a straight answer. I know the p5w and the bad axe 2 are good but they dont have SLI and i want SLI for the windows part. If you have links about this can you please post them. Thank you.

Synaesthesia Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 OSX wiki HCL for starters -> http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.8 It's a good list of hardware that's known to work with OS X. SLI doesn't work in OS X. Neither does the 8800GT, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
