As a followup to my own post there, I get some distortion when watching YouTube videos, and when audio reaches a certain peak volume. I've only had this happen a few times so far, but that's just my experience. Also, occasionally on boot up I get KPs (kernel panics). I can see the cause just...

Same.. I get a ton of 'Digital-out (HDMI)', but the Headphone (Rear Green) is right on the money! I get audio out like a dream! I use an older stereo system via its 'Video' input and it sounds nice and clear when playing an online radio station I'm a member of. Audio input isn't needed because I...

Hey all. I've been trying to get this all working but I can't seem to get it right. I have the mobo listed under my nickname on the left, and I can't get OS X to load at all. My situation is different from most: I have a working installation of OS X with a lot of files I'd rather not lose from...

That's a good start though. I'm sure hackers and whatnot'll get it working fully. 2GB VRAM is heavenly.

SCII working with no issues is good to know. What's your BNet name? I go by Shiggity on there. :)

I had my eyes on this card as well, but it was listed as not working on the main article announcement. If it's working now I'll gladly pay a little bit more for it. EDIT: I've been heart-set on getting the XFX 6870 I've linked a few times already in this thread, but I'm having second thoughts...

I'll gladly try that when I have my 6870, but as I said a few posts up I can't do it until earliest early May.

Ahh okay, I was wondering why I saw two of the same card lol. I've got the OC'd 940 MHz one in my cart ready to be paid for when I can lol. I'll pop that one in and report back on that particular card's performance. Shouldn't be too much different... only 40 MHz faster... but still. :P

They have a standard clocked one? Link it here.

Sweet. Where from? NewEgg? They have it for like $225 or so.

Okay so I know all you guys are anxiously awaiting my dual-fanned XFX 6870 benchmarks and whatnot, but I just realized that money is tight this month, and I really shouldn't be unnecessarily spending. It pains me, but I can't spend the ~$300 I initially wanted to. The earliest I can get my parts...

I had a 700W and it was making me reboot a lot, but maybe that was because it was a factory reconditioned model (refurb) that my friend convinced me to get. I now have a brand new StealthXStream2 from OCZ and it runs great. Also 700W. I'd say if you want to run more than one GPU or OC your CPU...

Indeed.

If you plan on overclocking, then yes do upgrade to an 850W PSU. You'll want as much juice as you can get when you crank up those voltages. As for the rest of the components, they look good to me. :)

Heh. As I've been saying I'll take my chances with the XFX 6870 I posted I plan on getting. I like the 2 fan design. I trust such the most. I don't want some shoddy 1 fan designed card to crap out on my on full load. I also like the idea of it being silent when under full load. That's a plus.

Heh. I'll report back if the Samsung drive I'm getting works or not. Worry not.

My friend has never hackintoshed before, but he's got way more computer building experience than I do. I currently have a [likely dead] LG drive, that when it would have no disc in it it would churn nonstop, seeking for a disc that's not in it. I've been told by people on this forum that that's...

I really like the 2 fan design of that XFX card, and I've heard it got [really] good reviews. As for the DVD drive there my friend recommended me towards Samsung, but it's all up in the air still. I get paid Thursday, so I have two days to dick around with configurations. I also want to get a...

Heh I will once I order it and then receive it early next week.. unless they deliver on a Saturday... Hmmmm....

I currently have a GTX 460 as listed under my name on the left, and I can't get it running properly on OS X. I'll be ordering this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product and this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product once I get paid on Thursday and I'm...
