Default Building a Hackintosh for OSX 10.6, suggestions on a motherboard?

I am building my hackinstosh computer with what hardware I have right now. I figure my 9800gt should do fine and my E2180, now all I need is a good motherboard. I want something less then a hundred dollars then a hundred dollars that supports wake, sleep, and is stable. No gremlins. If the on board audio or ethernet doesn't work I will just buy two compatible cards. I looked at the OSX wiki page and the list is bare, if anybody is running the latest version of OSX on their hackintosh or knows of a board that has been working for most people please let me know.

I think the asus P5 series all work well with hackintosh, and they're pretty cheap now
