HP P6216F video Card choice!
Hi:
I am totally new to OSX on PC but Im learning little by little, I was able to Install Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on HP P6216F, I already updated to 10.6.3. these are the specs Motherboard M2N78-LA (violet) Cpu: AMD Semprom X4 9150e Sound Card: Integrated: ALC 888s (Working with ALC 1200 kext). Ethernet: Both working (ehternet and wireless) without any patches. Video Card: Integrated Nvidia 9100 (NVinject) Memory: 8gb ddr2 Whats Working: Snow detects 1 processor 4 cores Sound Card gets audio but just digital output trough RCA . Ethernet: Lan Works 100% haven't tried much the wireless. Memory: Have to bot with maxmem=3839 or else it shuts down. USB: used usb fix but my keyboard and mouse sometimes lost power (I am using PS2 patch to use ps2 keyboard and mouse it seems to work fine) Firewire:Haven't tried that. Not Working: Card Reader: It doesn't detect any card. Video: This PC has and integrated Graphics Procesor Nvidia 9100 I was able to change resolution via command line on start up: Snow detects Type: GPU Bus: PCI VRAM (Total): 32MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0847 Revision ID: 0x00a2 Display: Resolution: 1024X768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Though my research, I was a little bit confused about this integrated card, because I see some netbooks with integrated intel Video, can get hardware acceleration. Seems like IGP its not yet supported with nvidia. So I decided to go for a new Video Card. On my country I have to choose between Nvidia XFX GT240 512 DDR3 or XFX GeForce 9800GT 512ddr3. So witch one should be better to invest for my PC, I want to run games in windows too :P Thank for helping me! 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
