Title: ASUS Maximus II Formula Motherboard
Post by: prsnlcrcl on August 26, 2008, 04:49:11 pm
All,

I am currently looking to purchase an ASUS Maximus II Formula motherboard (http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&...amp;modelmenu=1). I would like to run both Vista 64 bit and Mac OS X on the computer if possible. I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed Mac OS X on this motherboard. If it can not be successfully installed, then I may have look at the ASUS Rampage Formula motherboard (http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&...amp;modelmenu=1), but there are some features on the Maximus II Formula board that I prefer. Other system specs will be as follows:

Thermaltake Xaser VI Case
Thermaltake Toughpower 850W Modular Power Supply
Q6600 CPU
Zalman 9700 Cooler
2x2GB Corsair 8500 DDR2 w/ Cooling Fan
BFG 8800 GTX Video Card
6 x 500 GB Seagate SATA Drives

If anyone can let me know if they have had success or problems with the Maximus motherboard, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

hi there .. i'm using the same mb as you and is currently searching around for its OSx support

hopefully mb manufacturers will start taking the increasing number of hackintosh user and start doing up better support for us.
