Hardware Specs Reported in Dispatches
The alternative is of course to build a box yourself with parts you know will work like the asus p5k series or the gigabyte p35-ds3 series. Intel processors are always less hassle with osx86 and so is sata. You may have to upgrade.
CPU: Intel 5200 or 5300 - $115AU · Now this is one thing I'm not set on just yet. Ideally I want something with L2 stepping as it apparently brings idle power usage down to 8-12W compared to the 22W of most intel CPUs.

| Frequent kernel panics with 8GB Well here I am, and I need your help. I've posted on Insanelymac.com a few times but it seems everybody is too busy posting about what parts they should buy for their new hack (I've done it too). So here I am.

| Snow Leopard Retail (10A432) on P5K-E Wifi A/P -64 bit mode “Just updated to 10.6.3 with the new 1.1 updated (google it), and all is fine. Audio is working a treat, including front panel audio. Using an extra folder on the efi partition with all kexts in there.” | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 2010-04-13 808,277 dossier reads |
| how do i get pci devices working in os x “At the moment I am using a no name realtek 8139 PCI ethernet card and a no name firewire PCI card. In the past I've also used a sil3132 pcie raid controller. All work exactly as expected (cept the FW400 is fast enough on the slow PCI bus). …” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-12-20 30,499 dossier reads |
| Guide: Creating a very safe OS X system “It is a really nice guide, still i think we need to encourage people to use the Terminal as it can greatly speed up all of your OSx86 hacking needs without the need to ever copy a file around. Just load up terminal.app and enter: sudo -s th…” | 10.X Core | 2008-12-20 27,629 dossier reads |
| Will OSX86 support my hardware “Here ya go a little help: iPC (10.5.6) is probably the most supported osx86 distro (yes that is right) out there. It's got the most up to date and comprehensive list of drivers ever put together. Another good distro is Jas 10.5.4. So stick …” | 10.X Core | 2009-02-16 7,989 dossier reads |
| Frequent kernel panics with 8GB “3 days 12 hours uptime with no KP. It's not much I know but the computer has been put to decent levels of stress. Multicore rendering in AE, and hours of Spore on high at 1680x1050. I am hopeful that the problem has been solved. If so it wa…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-01-02 4,077 dossier reads |
| Frequent kernel panics with 8GB “I've decided to come at it all from a new angle: Windows XP Prime95 seems to be the absolute choice in pushing your machines stability. So I gave it a go with my current bios settings. Low and behold it balked after about 10 minutes. So bac…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-12-20 4,077 dossier reads |
| Frequent kernel panics with 8GB “I have tried the Jmicron kexts and they were incompatible with my board (caused a KP at boot). Here is the output from the console - I'm not sure if this is the actual panic. The log was written at the same time as the panic, but OSx86 mach…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-12-19 4,077 dossier reads |
