Beerkex'd Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 He looked up your motherboard at the ASUS website, which you could have done just as easily yourself. http://www.asus.com/Product.aspx?P_ID=gxw6071g5eeMSAwX (click 'specifications'). About BIOS options, spend 2 seconds with a search engine and you can find something like this: http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/03/bios-...hackintosh.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
