starobrno1 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Search for replys from olofd, he was talking about a perfect hacksetup and if I´m not misstaken he said it was working good with Logic 8. It´s based on a Gigabyte P35 DSR3 mobo and a q6600 cpu. I´m running Logic Pro 8 using an old crappy P4 cpu (Asus p4 p800 se mobo) and even leo works ok.Got some problems with the sound dropping out though but this probably has something to with the PCI bus and my PCI to FW card. On a newer mobo like this one I´m sure it should work ok if you only dig around here for the info you need but you probably will have to tweak your bios some.

thecourier Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks but I've read into osxproject and for asus p5kc : Install Method: Kalyway 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 Combo Updater BIOS Version: 2602 or 0903; Revision: Unknown Audio: ACL883 Tarugas patch or ALC883 driver on install DVD LAN: Doesn't Work SATA & IDE: SATA works, IDE not tested Onboard WiFi works For some people, install the new kernel before the update EFI & Vanilla Kernel No. LAN doesn't work asus p5k: Install method: Kalyway 10.5.1 BIOS version 8.05, Rev. unknown Kalyway: Audio working out of the box (patch on DVD) Onboard LAN not working SATA & IDE working EFI v8 + Vanilla kernel working No; LAN doesn't work GA-EP35-DS3R: Intel P35 + ICH9R Chipset Install method: Kalyway 10.5.1 / EFI V8 Audio working after ALC889a Patch LAN working out of the box SATA working EFI working No; Audio needs patching So they seem working and why all say that is better Gigabyte?

bongfury Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 because lan works maybe?.. add abit ip-35 pro or dark raider to your list to check out too. logic 8 with iAtkos 1.0r1 with that combo has been flawless for me. pretty sure you'll find any board capable of running kalyway/iatkos will be fine with logic.. although you probably want to consider an audio interface rather than onboard audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecourier Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 thanks 4 answer, so if the problem is lan, I don't care , and Yes I have a motu MkII828 firewire , I just have an firewire card (texas chipset). For the abit I have problem to buy, I can buy for a very good price p5kc, there's only the reason cause I think about this 2 board:) Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio_sl Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I have a P5k mobo. It works fine but I needed to patch leopard (kalyway 10.5.2)... look at this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...8335&hl=p5k Actually it works fine but without the patch it has problems with files bigger than 3gb. If you're going to buy a mobo just for osx86 maybe it's better if you think in another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooD Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Get the Asus P5KR, with that board you just need to setup your bios in AHCI mode, and Iatkos will boot directly from your sata DVD, and everything will install with perfect SATA AHCI support. The only problem with this board is the ethernet chip is not supported (but a cheap realtek 8139 can make the job) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecourier Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks 4 the answer but the problem is that I can buy for really good price P5k and p5kc ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
