But if you are minded to pay 130€ on a P3 + mobo + RAM - feel free to PM me, I still have one left.
I just didn't like u to depict me as dummy, just cause I was asking a more beginner-related question.


To all who seriously want to help me:

This are the mainboards I am currently at the choosing:

Quote:
1.) GIGABYTE G31M-ES2L - 40€

1333/1066/800 MHz FSB
2 places for DDR2-SDRAM 800Mhz (PC2-6400) - max. 4GB
Intel G31 / ICH7
Realtek ALC883
Realtek RTL8111C
Intel GMA X3100

2.) GIGABYTE GA-EP31-DS3L - 48€

1333/1066/800 MHz FSB
4 places for DDR2-SDRAM 800Mhz (PC2-6400) - max. 4GB
Intel P31 / ICH7
Realtek ALC888
Realtec RTL8111B
no onboard vga

3.) Foxconn G31MXP-K - 43€

(1600)/1333/1066/800 MHz FSB
2 places for DDR2-SDRAM 800Mhz (PC2-6400) - max. 4GB
Intel G31 / ICH7
Realtek ALC662
Realtek RTL8111B/RTL8111D
Intel GMA X3100

4.) Biostar G31D-M7 - 36€

1333/1066/800 MHz FSB
2 places for DDR2-SDRAM 800Mhz (PC2-6400) - max. 4GB
Intel G31 / ICH7
Realtek ALC662
Realtek RTL8201EL
Intel GMA X3100
I am still not determined, which one I should get...


1. Which one would you choose and why?

2. Will all the listet Realtek Ethernet chips work with RealtekR1000.kext or is there one which won't?

3. I don't need it as I will continue with using my GeForce (need Dualmonitoring. ) - but there should be the theoretical option to use a X3100 on 10.6 also, since some Macs have it, too shouldn't it?

4. Is ALC662 realy unsupported as listet in the HCL or is there someone who has it working?
This would be a killer argument against the Foxcon and the Biostar mobo...

5. Thanks.
