WhoNeedsVista Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 I didnt say I wanted to buy the worlds hardest motherboard. I was asking if anyone had used a board like this or this one how hard it was to install on?

simspot Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Just built a system with this motherboard. Works without a problem w/ Kalaway. Audio and Network needs patching. And QE/CI doesn't appear to be fully supported but I'm positive that it should work.

G_G Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 No, QE/CI doesn't work with the GA-G31M-S2L's onboard X3100 video, god knows why. So you're gonna need a video card. Additionally, I've tried installing with both Kalyway 10.5.2 and iAtkos 1.0. Verdict is iAtkos appears to be a breeze while Kalyway is acting all bitchy. What doesn't work on Kalyway 10.5.2: USB detection and audio. Both are present on iAtkos. To get up to 10.5.2 I used KalywayIntelCombo10.5.2, works without a hitch.
