LGA 1156 Motherboard Upgrade Reccomendations

[Tchaaa]

Hey Guys!

In my hackintosh at the moment I've got an Asus P7P55D-LE and an Intel Core i7-860, I'm looking to change my motherboard because the Asus P7P55D-LE has some rather tedious problems, mainly with the sound card limiting OSx86 performance, and mucking up the clock etc.

I was wondering if you had any non-asus LGA-1156 motherboard recommendations that work really well with snow leopard, I'm quite impartial to Gigabyte boards after positive experiences with them in the past.

Was looking at the GA-P55A-UD3, as it's in my price range (about £100 or less), but there's been mixed failure / success rates with OSx86, what do you guys think?

Thanks so much for your help,
Jack.

The GA-P55A-UD3 is OK as long as you get a rev 1.0.

Thanks so much.
Is there any good way to tell wether it's a rev 1.0 or not? I'm looking at the ones on Amazon or Ebuyer.

The only way is to look on the box or on the board.

I saw by your signature you have a GA-P55-UD5, I've found this one fairly cheap http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002HJBL0K/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=09TMXZ446C04RF6WHP6B&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294

Would you reccomend it? Does it all work properly?

(Thanks so much for your advice)
