9400GT or 7300GS/LE for Snow Leopard?
Hi,
I'm recently building a (very) cheap microATX slim PC that will solely run OS X on it. I'm almost done with my setup and I stumbled on choosing my video card. Since Snow is almost amongst us, I want this PC to run it. I'll be purchasing a G31 motherboard that has GMA 3100, but not supported Anyway, I need a LOW PROFILE video card to fit my microATX slim case. When to newegg and found that I only have 3 options: 1) 9400GT (low profile ready) 2) 7300GS or LE 3) 8400GS - I don't like this though, unless it runs better that the other 2, please let me know. My budget is only $50 and I don't care about performance. As long as it runs Full QI/CE in Leopard and Snow Leopard, that is more than enough for me. I wish I could choose a better and more compatible video card but It has to be less than $50 and has to be low profile. ATM, my main concern is running Snow Leopard in Full QI/CE and of course, stability. Any beta testers that has these cards? Thank you so much! |

here is the same question.
i have a asus P5K-VM G55 Barebone with a GMA 3100 on-board Intel Grafikcard. Also i have a ATI Radeon HD4550. Unfortunatly no support for a higher resolution as 1024x768. :-( So i also need to buy a new low profile grafikcard. Which one is the best choice for me - maybe a full supported nvidia or ati that is cooled passive? |

Great! Thanks for suggesting waneto2005. I'm actually looking at that card. EN9400GT from Newegg is cheap. I think I'm going for that.

This was the final piece of my puzzle for finalizing my ES2L (v2) Hackintosh!
