There has been a lot of debate regarding the best motherboard to get for Leopard and EFI. Here is a quick rundown of the best motherboards and their compatibility:
Intel D975XBX2 (Bad Axe 2)
Form Factor: ATX
Price: $219.99 Retail | $189.99 OEM | $89.99 Open Box
This motherboard is an excellent choice for Leopard. The only thing that needs patching is audio and everything else works out of the box. EFI and the vanilla kernel is also supported. However, this motherboard, which uses the Intel 975X Express chipset will not support the new 45nm processors, and it comes with a hefty price tag: $200+ new Retail. But if you are willing to spend a little more and don’t need the latest and greatest, this motherboard is a solid performer.
