Board for Phenom suggestions

Hi guys,

I'm going to change my mobo, because of some issues with the present MSI k9a2 cf-f(usb problems, mostly when using apple's alu keyboard). I need something cheap, because I'm thinking of a quad core intel upgrade after 2-3 months. But I'd like to make this machine as functional as possible.

So which am2+ board would you suggest? I would like to have a faster booting time also(now is more than a minute). I was thinking about Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H 780G+SB700. The price here is about $100. I don't know what the difference will be, going from 790X to 780G... is a downgrade? I don't need the extra pci-e for crossfire, that I have now. I just need a good board for os x, with good booting times and hopefully without the current issues.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

AMD Phenom II 945 || Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 || A-DATA 4GB kit DDR2 800 || Galaxy 9800GT Low Power || 320GB (SATA) || USB DAC || Optiarc DVDRW (PATA) || CM Mystique 631S Case || Asus PW201 || Apple Aluminum Keyboard + Mighty Mouse + Remote
