My P35-DS3L Install - Success!

[iSkylla]

Well I've been around since pretty much the birth of OSx86 and for the first time ever, I really do have a completely working system. I must say that this project has come quite far and kudos to all who help and develop it.

 

System specs are:

 

Intel E2160 @ 3.0Ghz (9x333)

Gigabyte P35-DS3L

4GB OCZ DDR2 RAM 800Mhz

ALC888 Audio

nVidia 8800GTS 320MB

Ralink 2860 Chipset Wireless (The only thing not working)

 

I installed using the Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD which was great. EFI and Vanilla kernel worked from the start. I proceded to install 10.5.2 using his combo updater. For some odd reason when I used the Apple combo update after a fresh install, I got a kernel panic while installing and in every future reboot but the Kalyway's updater worked fine. I updated the 9.2.0 vanilla kernel then went for the SpeedStep kernel because it seems Sleep still won't work on my machine. I've tried S3 and S1 and neither option helped. Curious, but is there a way to test whether SpeedStep is actually working? Anyways, finished up the 10.5.2 update, install audio and video kexts, and finally the patched SMBIOS. Everything works great now. Xcode works beautifully along with iLife and Word. I might write a C driver for the ralink wireless if there isn't one already released. I don't have time now but maybe in a few months lol. Here are some screenshots.
