I may not apply them (two were supplied) to my two Shuttle XPCs, but my just completed Gigabyte GA-P35-S3G may get one, otherwise it will have an all-black case (Antec Sonata III/500). Incidentally, I tried a Psystar OpenPro build (OpenPro is a P35, whereas the OpenComputer is a G31) on this P35/ICH9 mobo, but no go! A little-known package called, incredibly enough, DS3L-Package, provided everything which was necessary to get this mobo going, although CI/QE was very tricky and very frustrating. Although DS3L-Package, as with most P35 installers, was intended for the three PCI-slots P35 mobos, of which there are several, this package worked perfectly for my five PCI-slot GA-P35-S3G. A word to the wise: expect software updates to OpenComputers/OpenPros to become increasingly difficult to obtain. Apple is changing the links to its software updates, which Psystar's installers are using, more frequently. Psystar's counterattack is to supply its scripted installers on an as- requested, when-requested basis. And, this requires what is essentially an on-line service call ... provided free at this point. Incidentally, the Gigabyte P35 mobos are exceptionally overclockable. With an el-cheapo E4500 (2.2 GHz) overclocked to 2.8 GHz, it XBenched at just over 170. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
