Apple, fresh from the G5 mobo peripherals bottleneck fiasco, went with an Intel motherboard.

There is an article at Extremetech.com:

... that describes building a Mac -- but around a 3.8 GHz P4, apparently similar to the machine Apple was using to demo OS X for Intel before the Core Duos hit the runway.

But that's pretty far afield from what you want to do. Kind of an interesting read, though.
