[WTB] Looking for LGA 775 motherboard for Hackintosh --

xrealm20 · Aug 27, 2010

Looking for any motherboard that works well for a hackintosh - have an itch to build a 10.6.4 box for some odd reason --

I've heard that the GA-EP45-UD3P is the best one to get, so that's at the top of my list. I'm open to other suggestions if anyone out there has any recomendations.

Thanks for the PM's so far -- keep 'em coming guys =) Really want to kick off this build sometime soon!

Bump bump...

I've built a few systems using this board. I like it because it supports every 775 cpu from single core to quad. A lot of boards say P4 support but are only core2duo and up.

Looks like a smooth install. Good luck with the project.

Gigabyte is a good choice imho, simply because they're using hardware that's supported pretty well in OSX.

http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/ is a good site, but focuses mainly on the LGA-1156 platform

I used INtel D975 XBX2 without any issues.

That's a very good board except for the ungodly long post time that plagues most performance boards. :rolleyes:

I never had one problem with Intel boards.

Oh, I nearly forgot, another reason to go with Gigabyte is this guy http://cartri.net/blog/
He makes custom OSX BIOSes for Gigabyte boards that allow them to work much better with OSX
