ntlord Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm looking to build a MicroATX machine with Quad core and 4gb of Ram. Any recommendations of what motherboards and video cards I should look at which are pretty well supported. I would like to be able to do the EFI emulation so updates will work. Is that something that is possible? I looked at the HCL but it was hard to find what I was looking for. Thanks a lot, Dan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99685-microatx-build/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntlord Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Were you able to get all 4 cores working? Can it run 4gb of ram? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99685-microatx-build/#findComment-712559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntlord Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 It's pretty difficult to find that mobo from a reliable reseller (that claims they have it). Are there any other suggestions (possible something that newegg stocks?). Something that is fully working including audio and ethernet and can do 4gb of ram Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99685-microatx-build/#findComment-714167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
