How compatable is this Mainboard.
I have an ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO, Aside from the onboard video, I think everything else should work great on snow leopard right?

Well the chipset should work with using ATI-ATA driver...
The VIA VT1708S Audio might be tricky, this guy has it working but I would not call VoodooHDA the nicest way to get audio... AMD Phenom II X4 955 - ASRock AM3A770DE - 8GB DDR3-1333 - Radeon HD 5570 1GB passiv - BCM4318 802.11b/g - Snow Leopard Retail

Ok, good, I plan to use a watercooled AMD Phenom 2 x4 965 in this rig, I think I have seen the LAN kext, , I know I have seen the chipset kext, and the USB Firewire and E-SATA usally work by default, I have had USB problems in the past with USB, but easily overcome them with patched IOUSBFamily.kext.
