Hey guys,

What a great forum, helped me out a lot already, so thanks in advance!

First of all, I think my Core Duo Mini is nice, but I'd like to have a little more power with the option to upgrade my system - and I don't feel like buying a Mac Pro. So I'm thinking about buying this hardware:

1) A Spire Pininfarina Case, cause they're oh so sexy.
2) A P5B Deluxe.
3) 2 Gigs of Corsair DDR2 RAM.
4) An XFX 7950gt (heatpipe)
5) A Seagate Barracuda 7200 SATA Drive (320gb)

As far as I've seen, that's a pretty popular config and there's even a thread here online for the P5B, but I'd like to know if someone has the same hardware and has encountered any problems and get some advice about the following issues:

1) Is the onboard Wifi working? Onboard Gigabit Lans? Onboard Audio?
2) I currently have 2 IDE Drives - Can I simply keep using them with this config?
3) Will the Titan Kext work on this GPU?
4) What are some of the issues I'll probably run into? Do I still have to change the USB Kexts to the ones from 10.4.3? I plan to use JAS 10.4.8 Install DVD for the installation and really hope it'll work.

So, hope you guys can answer some of these questions, I'd be eternally grateful! smile.gif

you aren't getting any responses because you aren't reading. all the answers to your questions lie in these forums. you have to put forth the effort, people here are a little too busy cracking enterprise level security to bother
