The Gigabyte P35 DS4 is also highly recommended.

I'd go with P35 DS3R or P35 DS3P or P35 DS4 (all ICH9R). Apparently P5W or Bad Axe 2 are good too, however I find them overpriced for somewhat old hardware. Alternatively you can go P5K way, but if you do make sure you get P5K with ICH9R chipset - you would want something like P5K Deluxe or P5K-E Deluxe, etc..

I had a vanilla P5K (ICH9) which had all sorts of problems. Switched to DS3R couple of days ago and ... am happy. Everything is working with zilch problems. It's a great board.

im thinking of getting the P5W DH Deluxe. whats the on board WIFI like compared to a wireless PCI card? does it work well in Leopard?
mtotho
well.. the onboard wifi works in tiger....

If you have wired i highly suggest that for any desktop.. wireless is lame. I believe if you drag over a tiger ionetworking you can get wireless to work on leopard.. but you may have trouble with ethernet and time machine after that.

That ASUS looked lerry nice and a little bit expensive. Does it support Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor?
Onboard LAN work's in OSX?
And can we get to work my sound blaster pci-express xi-fi in OSX?

And what about a intel board (like MacPro)? I think it will work better then ASUS P5w DH...

And mtotho!
Are your hackintosh stable? It doesn't have verry often kernel panic?
