Anyone have any luck with this board, I search the forum and couldn't find anything... I was oringinally going with GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3R mobo but that is out of stock at Newegg... I want to use retail install with Boot132, anyone have an iso for a Boot132 cd that works with this board? I'm a noob so I'm trying to gather all my info before I make my purchase

from the reading i've done, it seems like the EP45-UD3R is the replacement for the EP45-DS3R, the only real changes are related to the motherboard's energy efficiency & heat distribution, bigger heatsinks, more copper, etc...

odds are a boot132 iso from the DS3R would do just fine, and i know i've seen ppl with UD3R based builds around here somewhere, if you want 1st hand knowledge smile.gif

This should be a great board. I have a GA-EP45-DS5x (Can't remember full name) everything works OTB. Audio chip should be ALC 889, same as a real Mac Pro!
