steadybootleggin Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 no..... take my specs below ... instead of my e4500, get a e6600 and, get a asus 7300gt silent pci-e 256 mb video card(i think it is like 70 bucks).... you'll have a board (ga-945gcmx-s2 or ga-945gcmx-s2c) that is very compatible (even sleep/wake).... i heard it can do like 4 gb ram....you can do a rig like that for less than $700 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94774-build-a-new-intel-mac/#findComment-675634 Share on other sites More sharing options...

macfan888 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Thanks a lot, guys! I just ordered the mobo: Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2C 775 mATX Motherboard. It seems to be the easiest board to install leopard. Will report back result here afer installation.

It seems to be the easiest board to install leopard. Will report back result here afer installation. So? how did it go? i have the same mobo, but i can't get it to work, I tried brazil disk, i heard it works great with Kaylaways. Tell me your bios setting when it works.
