iPC on Abit KN8 SLI

[endafy]

I got iPC installed 98% working! iPC on an:

Abit KN8 SLI

SLI board configuration Abit 7950GTX x2

8GIG ram DDR400

AMD FX60

Onboard AC'97 sound 7.1 surround sound (Only stereo works with iPC this kinda makes me sad)

Sony Optiarc 48XCD-R/RW; 22X DVD +-R/RW; 2X BD-R/RW

Dual Dell 22" 1920X1080 resolution on each

4X1tb SATA 7200RPM

2X320G PATA 10000RPM One XP one iPC

 

Sleep and hibernate don't work (Not an issue for a desktop)

 

Other than the sound not working fully, this is as close to a real Mac as I have ever come. I will definitely buy a Mac Mini when the new one comes to be. This is my old gaming rig. It has long since been retired but I decided to give it a spin before parting it out. I am going to keep all the drives and video cards (for now) then when I get the 7300LE in the mail it will become my Mac (for now). I will also drop a 500G into it, either that ot keep one of the 320G in it. I am buying 4 SSD 128Gigs. I will put one into the Mac mini, one into my new gaming rig and put the rest on my shelf for sale.

 

This is my third run with OSX86. I started with Tiger with some success, then moved on to Kaliway, but as Kaliway goes nothing worked and I would rather keep using what I had, than this. iPC has made the decision for me buying a real Mac. I am waiting on Snow Leopard and the new Mac Mini. My reason for buying a Mini and not the Pro is size. Honestly something so small has some good uses. Price for me isn't an issue. I run a computer shop and can afford a 5 grand machine easy. If you want a perfect Mac experience, iPC on Abit KN8 SLI is where its at.
