CE260 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 It looks like my Gigabyte EP45-DS4P is on the way out. It takes a few goes at boot looping before displaying the memory details and booting into XP or Leopard. When it does the system stops responding with no power to the mouse or keyboard. Tried new ram and a new power supply and will go for a new Vid card next Friday. SO. If It is the board I'll be looking at buying a newone and deciding on what to buy to run a C2D 2.8 and 1066DDR2 ram upto 8 gig and support for atleast 6 sata drives. Any thoughts suggestions?

CE260 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 I picked up a Foxconn ELA. Works fine for WinXP and 7. Will try FreeBSD when I can learn how to install the GUI to run when booting. So far no luck getting OSX to install. I've only tried the retail method so far which I almost had working in the Gigabyte EP45-DS4P. I'm tempted to look for another one and sell off the ELA. Thank god I have My MBP or I'd be going nuts.
