I have an Asus 7300GT 512MB Silent gfx card. I might use the PCWiz's Universal OSx86 Installer this time to see if that makes a difference.

I finally got around to installing tonight and I'm having one small bit of trouble. Maybe someone following this thread can advise me on next steps. I'm using the GA-P35-DS3L and an Asus 7300GT Silent 512mb video card. The problem is that I'm getting a black login screen with a visible mouse...
