Im going to try building a new AMD platform osx86 and got a really good deal on a XFX GeForce 8200 motherboard (nForce® 8200) (MI-A78S-8209). Has anyone had any experiences working with these? I have not been able to find anything with extensive searching. I have built a few intel system without issue using specific parts found in some of this boards discussions. Hope someone can shed some light. Here is the mother board xfxf orce.com/en-us/products/motherboards/geforce%20amdseries/GeForce%208200.aspx

i have had a few XFX products and been quite pleased with them, seems like this would be a great board to couple with a black edition and run dual bios.Thanks for the help naquaada.

Hm, difficult to say, it seems to be rather new. Onboard gfx is in the most cases not very good supported. I must say, I never heard from this manufacturer ever. The specifications aren't very well described on the web page, these (tiger direct.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3939759&Sku=P450-9120) are a bit better.

I actually found that it has a nForce 780A chipset, Audio is Realtek ALC 888. I'll search for more infos.

There are some Phenom threads in here, take a look there too.
