I've been seraching for an additional computer that will solely run osx in my workstation. This will solely run osx86 (Snow Leo or Leo).

What can you say about this mobo?

Hmmm so for it seems ok.

It has a soldered processor, Celeron 220 which is SSE3. Vanilla Supported (I think)
GMA 950
ICH7
Ethernet is Realtek, but doesn't say the exact model from the asus website.

So far everything seems to be ok except the audio.

It has a VIA VT1705. Is there a driver for this audio card?

This ITX board has only one PCI slot and I'm planning to use a wireless PCI card in there. So audio PCI is not an option.

Does anybody know if this is a good board? Newegg sells it for only $79 with free shipping.

Is the atom 330 faster than this CPU. Maybe I should just trash this and buy an Atom 330.
