Synaesthesia Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The wiki is your friend... I say 8800gt with that setup, but any card in the list should work. According to the 10.4.8 wiki, the 2496 Audiophile does not work. For OS X compatibility you might wanna stick to USB or firewire based cards. (well, check the list) Yeah, you can triple boot! Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceice Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 @Synaesthesia First of all: THANKS for your reply!! The Audiophile had no drivers for Mac previously..Now it does1 URL: http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=suppor...3bfb8&OS=47 Hmm, the the 8800gt is really to expensive for me.. I DON'T want to game on that PC..So this would be a little to much power...I also own a XBOX 360..This baby is for this rare moments , I want play games.. ;-) I searched for the mainboard in the WIKI and had no luck.. Is it maybe to new ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I searched for the mainboard in the WIKI and had no luck.. Is it maybe to new ?? Yeah, it's probably too new. If you wanna check if your stuff works, here's a great way to search the forum, type your search terms in google, and then "site:insanelymac.com". Eg "m-audio 2496 site:insanelymac.com" ...seems like that card doesn't work. Get yourself a cheaper card, like a 7600GT. If you're still unsure about your motherboard, we know for a fact many P35 motherboards work perfectly, and they are excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
