Hey guys (and gals),
I recently started researching into making a Hackintosh, and I was a little disappointed when I looked through the motherboard database (http://www.tonymacx86.com/wiki/index.php/Motherboard_Database) and realized that all of the compatible motherboards are "1156" socket types (the Sandy Bridge is an "1155").
However, today on the front page I read that apple will be making and releasing "Sandy Bridge" iMacs (http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/05/apple-releases-new-sandy-bridge-imacs.html), meaning that apparently the "1155" socket type is Mac-friendly.
My question is:
If the "1155" sockets are supported now, what motherboard is recommended? I need BOTH Firewire 400 and USB 3.0. (I was looking at this one, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130573, but I don't know if it's Hackintosh-friendly)
