argonlazer Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm not an expert in this department as I bought a computer and installed Mac around it as apposed to buying a computer around Mac. But I do know that you will find it easier using the Pentium D as apposed to an AMD processor as it's supported more natively due to the whole Intel Mac thing. Also I have an Intel Pentium Dual Core processor and that works just great Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88700-suggestion-on-brewing-macchoosing-hardware/#findComment-632919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
