If you want to install Mac then go with Gigabyte. Search for tonymacx86 and look in their forums for more info regarding the matter. They also have complete setups listed that have been tested to run Mac properly.

Go with Gigabytes motherboard.

I have had Asus motherboard before and they have problems after using for 4-5 years.

I have bought Server type Motherboard from gigabyte and it is working fine ?( without any problem) even after 3 years. Touchwood.
