Best Motherboard currently
Hi All,

I currently have a Asrock G31M-S which apparently is the worst MB going for installing OSX. I download the EFI tool, and the 10.6.2 retail disk and basically it crashes with a HPET error.

Im aware there is a custom BIOS for this MB, and i believe i downloaded the rom but ill be damned if i can figure out to install it (tried windows, and instant flash it doesnt detect the rom*

So unless someone has a way of installing OSX on this MB what would be the best current compatible MB i'd like to do vanilla with little/no patching.

Any suggestions on what board to get for my Intel E5200 processor. I have a ATI Radeon PCI-E graphics card i can use *cant remember exact model would need to install it. I think its a Radeon 4500*

Thanks

Gavin

Have you tried to switch HPET settings in BIOS?
Maybe that MB doesn't have that setting in BIOS?

I found the option it was disabled so i enabled it.

Then i got stuck on Starting Apple Decrypt.

This is using the Kalyway and snow Universal build.

Im aware there is a hacked bios for my board can anyone advise how to apply it.
