QTime Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 hello guys, after i found this forum i cancelled my new mac pro and decided to build my own one. this machine will be used for aperture, cs3 and logic8 - at whe weekend also for games i thought bout those components: q6600 8gb geil dragon series ddr2 800mhz samsung sh-s203b energy > corsair bout 500-600W ? samsung t166 500gb gainward nvidia 8800gt 1024mb golden sample ( or maybe the new g92 gts ? or a gtx? :<<<< which one is working? ) everthing in a mac pro case i bought 2 days ago on ebay. now i got those problems deciding which mainboard to buy. ive read nearly everything bout the asus p5w, p5w deluxe, p5e, about the ga´s , the bad axe and so on, but havnt made a decission yet. what i do need: 8gb ram support overclocking ( want bout 3-3,4 ghz ) support my 8800gt 1024mb firewire sata :< sound and lan working, maybe w-lan restart and sleep modus working. sleep is kinda important for me. raid would be cool but not needed that much please tell me if you have any ideas which will make this machine run more stable or better. regards Q.

2LMan Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I use the P5W DH Deluxe and I can personally say it is a very easy overclocker. I have my e6300 overclocked from 1.86 to 2.33, and I could go more if not for my ram. Also, everything is working out of the box. I am running a Vanilla setup, but I added NVInject and AppleHDA, for graphics and sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu3d3s Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 HI, I think intel badAxe2 is the best choice for hackintosk at this time. only mic dont work in this board, is good for OC and can use the new intel penym 45n processor via bios update [] ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
