I'm using this board since 10.4.5 ;-) and it was working on with all images I ever tested - about 20.
The only component you can't use in OS X is the SiliconImage 3114 RAID ontroller. It worked in Tiger, but not in Leopard anymore because it doesn't use AppleVIAATA.kext. But if you want to expand you system to the max you can use 6 harddisks for OS X and 4 addidtional ones for Windows!
New components: Some are rather old and you'll loose a lot of speed with them. I have selected some costs, prices are from Germany.
Graphics card: I'm using on 4 machines a Gigabyte Radeon X1600 Silentpipe 2. It's a passive cooled card, so noise at all. I still have some in spare ant would sell them for 35 Euro.
CPU: I would definetively recommend to replace the 3200+ because it only has 512K Level 2-Cache. All newer Socket 939 CPUs and the X2 have only 512K Level-2-Cache and AMD replaces with 200 MHz higher frequency. The 4000+ is a nice cpu, it has 2.4 GHz, 1 MB Level-2-Cache and brings about 85-88 in Xbench. It worked stable overclocked at 2.63 GHz. Price is 32 Euro (new).
Harddisk: 120 GB are not so much fun ;-) I would recommend an IDE HD though, it's faster than SATA. The Samsung HD400LD has 400GB and costs 52 Euro.
These were my infos at the moment, if there are more ask me.
P.S.: If you're bad in English, what is your native language? I opened a thread for listing this.
