I noticed that a few of the pages on the main page have users telling new people (of which I am new) not to use series 9 boards. I'd like to include some information below from the buyers guide...
"Welcome to our redesigned Buyer's Guide! We've made a lot of backend changes, allowing us to use the parts data for an upcoming hardware database. If you're building a CustoMac, 4th generation Intel Core i Haswell CPUs + Intel 9 Series motherboards are the current recommendation."
"We recommend these specific 9 Series motherboards because they have simple post-installation, don't require a pre-patched DSDT, and have native sleep/wake functionality. They also have supported audio and network controllers. Please note, these motherboards will NOT work with older Socket 1155 CPUs."
if with this in mind, why are we new people (at least me, dchillo, and kervich) being told to avoid series 9. I do recall when i was looking into osx a few months ago to avoid series 9, but it looks like hat isnt an issue anymore. please clarify.
