Hey guys! I'm planning a build but to be honest - I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for compatibility wise! I've done a spot of googling for the motherboard I plan to use and foresee one issue that I may have. (integrated network controller)

This is pretty much a budget build - just something to sit in my room and store my media really!

Distro
iDeneb 1.4 (Mac OS X 10.5.6)

Motherboard
ASUS P5SD2-VM

Processor
Intel Celeron Dual Core E1400 (2ghz stock, but that wont stay like it for long )

Video Card
I'm also going to pick up a cheap PCI-E video card running the NVidia 6200LE chipset.

RAM
2x 1gb Crucial Modules

Storage
160gb SATA HDD
Possibly a 80gb IDE HDD (so I can keep my current linux system)

So I've done a bit of research and found out that for the video I will need to use NVInject. There is also a kext available for the Realtek ALC662 onboard audio chipset that is on my motherboard.

Now the integrated Network controller is of the SiS 190/191 type, and I can't seem to find anything regarding that working with OSx86 - at least not in English! Failing that - I do have a number of spare PCI Network cards I think; just need to find one thats working in my drawer of parts!

Is there anything I've missed or overlooked?

Seems compatible, I think theres guides or something for this mobo, check the HCL just in case, I'm not sure about your video card... good luck

I'll try and keep you guys posted/update the HCL depending on how it goes! Just ordered the parts (spent a lot of my pay within an hour of getting it ) so fingers crossed!
