dust'n the callipygous Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I'm pretty new to the site and have been looking mostly at the Bad Axe 2 setup, but I stumbled across this deal online and haven't been able to find any info on this motherboard in the forums. Would this be a good start for my first Hackintosh? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/se...M-680ILT-Q6600B q6600 xfx nforce 680i LT sli motherboard 2x2gb OCZ pc6400 ram $399 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86678-is-this-q6600-setup-a-good-deal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhail Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Woah thats a real decent price. But I think you need an Intel Chipset to use EFI if I remember correctly Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86678-is-this-q6600-setup-a-good-deal/#findComment-615568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate256 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Well Q6600 is a great CPU but idk about the Mobo. i saw a similar deal awhile back but 680i isnt the most compatible. go with the bad Axe 2. and i am really surprised you couldnt find any info on the BA2!! but here is a little help on how to get it going and a good setup. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=73542 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=76014 hope this helps!!! BA2 is very stable! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86678-is-this-q6600-setup-a-good-deal/#findComment-615850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 This is an old thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=26508 But I am sure it still holds useful info.

dust'n the callipygous Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 thanks guys, i'll probably end up going with the bad axe 2. it's the one i'd been looking at, but i just found that deal online while shopping for parts. does anybody know much about this board?

socal swimmer Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well what about the GA P35-DS3P? I wrote a full install guide and it has been working well for me. its cheap too.... the guide is in my sig. its much better for overclocking, and cheaper, than the Bad Axe 2.
