[vaK]

hey guys.

This is good enough.
The Gigabyte's Z68 motherboards are pretty good.

Any Z68 Gigabyte motherboard that has Realtek audio and Realtek ethernet will work fine. Also a DSDT is needed.

Any Z77 Gigabyte motherboard which also has the above will work great. Although you do not need a DSDT.

I am using this motherboard, and it works great under both Snow Leopard and Lion.

I can report the same, typing this on my hack right now. It's been stable for a few months now, no problems.

Does anyone know what the best MOBO is fo OSX, Gigabyte seems to be the best OSX-wise but I read on every review on the z68 about reboot loops, the 58 is old tech and the z77 has limited Overclocking options.

As far as I know the reboot loops were a problem for a small group of boards made in one case (physical defect), and the rest of the boot loops were fixed with a BIOS update.

This is childish, but all I could think of while typing 'boot loops' was "Fruit Loops" and that bird. xD

Really!? you are putting me at ease Mister, because almost every z68 board had someone review it and say something about a boot loop.

I plan on purchasing all my components soon after mountain Lion is released.

Again, just basing this off info I've read because I was concerned for my board. But from the "info" on multiple forums the consensus has been that there was a bad batch of boards produced in one case, and a BIOS issue in another. Though if it worries you, pick a different manufacturer or a Z77 board to put your mind at ease.

Im not sure of any other compatible z68 boards other than Gigabyte.

The asus pxxx -v pro board is not what im looking for either.
