				GA-EP45-DS5 vs. GA-P35-DS4
			 
 Hello everybody. 
I want to build a new Hackintosh. Scince I have some experience with OSX86 I thought it would be better to ask before  I go out there and buy something    
First of all, what I want: reliability and stabilityIntel Core2Quad (all cores have to work)vanilla kernelinstallation with retail-DVDSATA with AHCI2 PATA drives (HDD, DVD-Ram) (of course DMA should work)USB, FireWire, Sound (patches are OK here), PCIEPCEFI or similarvanilla Apple Software Updates would be nice toono shutdown/reboot glitcheshibernate/sleep
 
My questions: Can anybody here say anything about the things in the list above?Is the GA-P35-DS4 really a zero-hassle OSX86 mobo (except from the sound)?Will I be able to benefit from the TPM-chip in the EP45 board?I am not really a hardcore gamer and I don't want to use Windows on that machine. Should I buy the EP45-DS5 because it has PCIE 2.0?
 
Thanks to eveybody who takes the time to give me any hints.
