runningboy01 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi all, I am still new to these forums, but have been doing a lot of reading and research. I have put together what I would like to build using Leopard 10.5.2. Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is my potential build.

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 That's a broken link... if you post your possible spec straight here it'd be easier to advise Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98160-advice-on-possible-build/#findComment-702661 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Remarkably similar to my Spec, and you should have absolutely no trouble running leopard. The graphics card should be more than capable of Quartz and Core Animation, which is where the real test is in a home-built system.

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I should imagine sound would work, I've used four different realtek devices with various builds and never had a problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98160-advice-on-possible-build/#findComment-705360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitboi Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi, I'm interested in doing a new build as well. I've seen a lot of recommends for the P5W DH, but this Gigabyte motherboard seems to be a bit newer and has more SATA ports. I've just started reading thru this forum. I am wondering what the recommended install method would be for this board and say a Nvidia 7300?

Hagar Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Will people please do their own research by reading the 10000s of posts already on the forum rather than cluttering the place up with questions like these.
