hfiend Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm interested in same MoBo but am concerned with the GMA 3100 vid chip. anyone have anything to report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onin Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 I checked out the WiKi it seems that everything works out of the box except the audio. you have to patch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurael Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Looks fine since you're not using the onboard video, onin. I think desktop users wanting something newer than 945 are SOL if they want to use onboard video at the moment. It's not like something basic like an X1300 or 7300 is expensive, so I really wouldn't bother pursuing onboard, hfiend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onin Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 I use a C2D 2ghz MacMini 2GBram as my everyday machine, a full blown PC for gaming and I hook up them both using a KVM on my 24in monitor. I'm still debating myself to build this Hackint0sh project or just buy a 24in iMac. thats gonna be an instant dual 24in monitor setup for me. anyway I'm still gonna research if I can use this Hackint0sh for everyday use thanks for the reply.

Synaesthesia Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 The Hackintosh will work pretty much perfectly, you can use it for everyday stuff, but why not just buy the iMac? The advantages are it is super quiet and sleeps properly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
