OK, a few lessons I learned so far, in random order: 1. If you want to dual-boot with windows, two hard drives are much, much, much better than one. Yeah it's possible to get it all up with a proper boot loader on two partitions but even as a geeked-out DIYer who still refuses to code HTML...

I just got my system up and running, same DFI board as you, same Kalyway. I made minimal changes to my BIOS (and I didn't disable Jmicro, either). theTITUS, feel free to PM me about BIOS settings.

NICE. And I was doing it the hard way. Good stuff.

I should also mention that the JMicro drivers work flawlessly - my DVD drive is IDE (PATA) and had no problems booting, burning, etc.

OK, here's my $1000-ish Hacky Pro. Just built + config'd this weekend. Leopard is purring llike a pussycat. My only PITA is getting the dual-boot on a single drive to play with Vista (yeah I know, why oh why). I've read the 50-step instructions and it still vexes me. But Leopard is no...

OK well thanks for pinging me those specs. I'll figure out the rest as I go along ... Cheers.

Kaido are you ever away from this thread? - hehe Jmicro is the IDE controller right? What happens if my DVD drive is IDE ...?

Bigmacattack, the specs look sweet. My setup is similar: DFI Lanparty DK P35 C2Quad Q6600 Tuniq Tower 120 4x1 GB Crucial Ballistix - DDR2-PC2-6400 - BL2KIT12864AA804 PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610W Existing HDDs (10k, 7200) Good ol' GeForce 7300, for now Finally got the mobo from...

Jealous. Ordered my Lanparty DK + q6600 today, should have all components up & running in a week.

Ah I see now that there are at least three different "black" boards. So we have: - "Red" Blood Iron, confirmed working, link - "Black" Lanparty DK, confirmed working, link - "Black" Lanparty LT, not confirmed (may work), link - "Black" Lanparty UT, not confirmed (may work), link I...

No worries, the red board is in enough other places. Just trying to decide whether to get it or the black one still on NewEgg. Red: - about $50 cheaper - single 16x PCI-E - 6 SATA - audio on board Black - Trhee 16x PCI-E - 8 SATA - audio on separate panel Hmmmm. I'll be...

OK I was about to put together my new OC Hackintosh system based on the Abit IP35 Pro when a nice gent on another board said "check out the Blood Iron" and a little searching landed me here. Kaido, et al -- do you have any thoughts on the "red" vs "black" P35 Blood Iron? Newegg has both...
