I was just wondering if anyone can recommend any free Fortran compilers for OSX on Mac? I am going to be starting some work that requires the use of Fortran and though I have a Windows machine, I would like to use my Mac since it is faster.

I have Googled around, but I am really not sure what I am looking for. Any recommendations are appreciated.
