Guys I need to choose a mobo to start my Hackintosh, it must have the following:

Format: Micro ATX
Memory Slots: DDR2
Socket 775 for Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU
No special advanced ports
DSDT Ready.
Cost under 100 $

Thanks, for your help. :thumbup:
 
Why are you using such outdated stuff??
 
Going for one with P45.

What are the F1, F4, F10 in the DTST selection for each mobo ?
 
Those are BIOS versions.If latest DSDT is f10 for the main board you will have,go to GB website and download F10 BIOS version and flash it (that if your main board doesn't already have F10 BIOS version)

Intel DP43BF/DP43BFL if you are able to find them.

The Intel motheboards are far, far better than all those Gigabytes or ASUS crap. I really do not understand, why peoples buy these Gigabyte or ASUS... .
I'm an proud owner of one DP43TF Intel mobo, 3 yrs old. Not "stellar" on tests, but rock solid.
Whatever i throw at it, never have had a single problem.
With appropriate graphic card, of course.

Supermicro also have good motherboard... . C7SIM-Q is good choice also, but it is an LGA1156 socket.

The Intel PHY are stellar performers, and far, far better performers than ANY Realtec PHY.

This really seems to be a stock response to many questions about hardware In general, the answer is that we want to give things a whirl with stuff we have lying around with a minimum outlay. When doing something like this for a "let's see if" scenario, many people don't want to go out and spend a lot on all new hardware.

Yes and I have to say it's not easy to find dated hardware too.

I went for a gigabyte mobo and here in Italy I have found one with the DSTD available, but looks like the seller is not shipping it it's 15 days now. So I' trying to get refunded by paypal.

I'm looking in the EU zone right now.

I am not sure about Intel motherboards being good or bad (personally I don't like them), but I don't think Gigabyte and Asus motherboards are crap. Gigabyte motherboards in particular work well with Snow Leopard and Lion. The fact that this forum recommends Gigabyte motherboards for use with OSX should tell you something.
 
Hello, I have a motherboard intel 775 DQ45CB , this mobo can be compatible with OS X ?? Thank you:D
