ASUS P5Q Motherboard
The ASUS P5Q Motherboard is based on the Intel P45 chipset, and it seems as though that this chipset is one of the most compatible for use with Mac OS X. Although, since Mac OS X includes only specialized hardware kexts (aka kernel extensions), most on-board peripherals may not work without finding additional specialized hardware kexts.
The following on-board devices are supported by finding additional specialized hardware kexts:
- Realtek ALC1200, 8-Channel High-Definition Audio Codec
- Atheros Gigabit PCI-E Network Adapter
- Marvell 88SE6111 Single Channel IDE Controller
for two PATA devices
The following are recommended BIOS options:
- Legacy Diskette A [Disabled]
- SATA Configuration [Enhanced]
Configure SATA as [AHCI]
- CPU Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
- PCIE Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
- High Definition Audio [Enabled]
- Marvell IDE [Disabled]
only enable if you are using PATA devices
- Atheros Gigabit LAN [Disabled]
only enable if you need to use the on-board LAN
- Serial Port [Disabled]
- Plug and Play O/S [No]
- Suspend Mode [S3 only]
- ACPI 2.0 Support [Enabled]
- ACPI APIC Support [Enabled]
- Express Gate [Disabled]
- Drive Xpert [Disabled]
