Don't know if this is some kind of automated availability date being displayed though. Any news anyone?

The board currently appears on the UK and Australian Gigabyte website

The audio chip is definitely Realtek. I'm also glad the bios will allow be to disable the secondary NIC, not sure if it would be a problem since I cannot think of any Mac that comes with two.

You can use as many NIC's in OS X as you want, that's the least of your worries...

Got the board yesterday.

Same installation as other UEFI boards (without DSDT).

The system works 100% after changing the wifi card to Athero AR9285 (with bluetooth). Wake up from Apple wireless keyboard and mouse is functioning, though the setting is still grey out in the bluetooth system preference.

Sleep, auto-sleep, wakeup, restart, shutdown, airplay mirroring all work.
SATA shows "unknown AHCI standard controller".

Mine is coming in two days with my 3225. So the F2 bios is UEFI?
