If you are about to build a new Hackintosh Intel Machine, you should think about which components are most compatible and suit your needs. We like to help you to make the right decision for your ultimate Intel Mac Pro experience.
Motherboard
The best choice is to pick a Motherboard of the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS series.
All these work great, the cheap variants have less features. Make sure that you check what you need, especially Firewire is not included in the low cost variants.
