i read the sticky yesterday evening and rebuild one of the systems at my onlinestore of trust. i'm working on this with/for a friend and osx installation should not be tooo tricky. best would be using something like ideneb..

do you think this spec should work w/ ideneb (10.5.6)?
maybe the processor is little bit to expensive.. maybe we will downgrade this one..

many many thanks!

ps. you suggested as for power supply a 750/1000w device.. what is taking this huge amount of power within yr spec? i thought only a gtx295 is sooo hungry..

pps. posted this question in my Penom II thread but it's not amd anymore..

ppps. is the Geforce 9800GTX+ 512MB the best of "the supported" cards?


Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 boxed, 12MB, LGA775, 64 bit
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-EP-DS3, Intel P45, ATX, DDR2, PCI-Express
Ram: 4098MB-KIT A-DATA PC6400/800, CL5
Case: LanCool K7, ATX
Power: BE Quiet! Dark Power Pro p7 550Watt
GPU: EVGA e-Geforce 9800GTX+ 512MB, PCI-Express
HD: WD Caviar 640GB, SATA II, WD6400AAKS
DVD: LG GH22NS40 bare black SATA II

finally we decided to go with the q9550!
we downgraded the power device to 450W. It should be okay..
we upgraded to two 640GB HDs (is it possible to use a bootmanager?)

we still need a few infos about how hard OSX installation would on this specs before we buy the components.. sorry for the noobing on this subject!

Looks great, there guides for those mobos, I think you wont have any problem, yeh check the FAQ to know how to dual boot, the link is in my signature
