| P5GL-MX | Asus | 775 | Works great with patched 10.4.4 DVD. no audio -> get cheap CMI. OK for SATA, PATA, network, USB, PCI-E, PS2 kbd/mouse. | No |
| AA8XE (Fatal1ty) | Abit | 775 | Everything I've tried so far works. It recognizes the SATA drives, and they work but I don't know if you will be able to boot OSX from them. USB 2.0 works fine and IDE works great also. The sound card that comes with it (Realtek ALC880) should work, but you might need to patch it first. Otherwise this mobo works 100% great on the setup I have right now. | Yes |
| KV8 Pro | Abit | 754 | Installed fine and works great; no flaws; must install AppleVIAATA.kext for SATA support, Onboard NIC and Sound not working. Also had to use IOATAFAMILLY.kext andIONETWORKING.kext and IOUSBFAMILY.kext from 10.4.3 for anything to work perfect. (is there anywhere online to find these without goign throu 10.4.3 again? - i don't think so as it's illegal to publish kexts, you might try use Pacifist to extract the kexts from your original 10.4.3 developers dvd.) | No |

| 939DUALSATA2 | ASRock | 939 | Must use a SATA2 hard drive and modify AppleAHCIport.kext and AppleVIAATA.kext to get the sata2 controller chip working. The primary IDE channel also works with the IOATAFamily.kext from 10.4.3 but is only in PIO mode, really slow(but useful if you have a IDE CD/DVD drive). No onboard sound or network working. | |
| K8M800-M7A | Biostar | 754 | Boots up fine, onboard sound works, however onboard Ethernet does not | Yes |

| D915-GEV | Intel | 775 | Works great. The only problem is sound in: doesn't works. Had to install IOATAFamily.kext from 10.4.3 for SATA and AppleAzaliaAudio.kext for audio. Onboard Video works out of the box, CI / QE supported, 1600x1200x100 working. | No |
| D915-GMHL | Intel | 775 | Works almost perfect. Only had to install ApplePS2Controller.kext for PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse from my working 10.4.3 Installation. I am using my GMA900 with full QE+CI support out of the box. | No |
| D915-GUX | Intel | 775 | Works very well. Needed IONetworkingFamily.kext for Ethernet, AppleAC97Audio.kext for sound, and ApplePS2Controller.kext for PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse. QE+CI support. Firewire works. $25 add2 card for second display with full resolution QE & CI. | Yes |
| D945-GNTLKR | Intel | 775 | With 10.4.4 drivers, IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.3 for Built-In Ethernet. Used IOATAFamily.kext from 10.4.3 for SATA. USB 2.0 works. Firewire works.

Onboard video works out of box with QE & CI and all resolutions available. |
No |
| D945-PSN | Intel | 775 | With 10.4.4 drivers, system has grayed out Built-In Ethernet in Network Prefs. Tried the IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4.3 and now Built-In Ethernet is available but upon selection it crashes system prefs. However, ethernet DOES WORK using the default DHCP setting. Used IOATAFamily.kext from 10.4.3 for SATA. USB 2.0 works great. Firewire appears to be working in system profiler, but have not tested. Audio out of the blue port works with AppleHDA.kext from 10.4.3. See this forum for details. Don't use AzaliaAudio or AC97. |
No |
| 915G COMBO-FR | MSI | 775 | Works really perfect. Only had to install IONetworkingFamily.kext for Ethernet, AppleAzaliaAudio.kext for sound, and ApplePS2Controller.kext for PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse from my working 10.4.3 Installation.
