Hey people..First time poster..

 

I've been trying to research things through the search, but have had limitred success because of the limits of the search engine and the sheer amount of info to wade through. The basic thing I am looking for is if there are any obvious compatability issues with my setup!

 

q6600 OC'd to 3.15

Gigabyte p35-DQ6

4*1gb corsair XM2 CL4 800mhz

Gigabyte Nvidia 8800GTS 640mb

500gb seagate SATA HDD

320gb SATA drive (not sure about manufactuer)

Writemaster DVD burner (IDE I think)

 

I know the dq6 SHOULD be supported aside from sound issues and that the 8800GTS can be fixed to work. How am I looking overall though? I'm looking to install the 10.4.10 XxX release.

 

Thanks peeps!

What does having the pioneer drive change? Does it make the process simpler og more stable?

 

Thanks for the heads up on the SATA bios change.

 

Also, I have a MSI dual net card (bluetooth, wireless). I think I read somewhere that is was compatable but have been unable to verify...

Alright, I've been scanning the boards but there is little to no info on the p35-DQ6! Am i farily safe in my assumption that the DSR3 has basically the same chipset? What's different?

 

Also I've read conflicting posts about the DVD drive situation. Some say that SATA/USB is a must but others have had success with IDE drives....it's a little confusing..

Well an apple "shipped/supported" drive lets you use all the burning features in OSX. Some unsupported burners will need Toast or other software to burn cd's / dvd's.
