[cite] naquaada:[/cite]I have the Asus A8N-SLI Premium. Have you tested networking with forcedeth? It crashes at large files with a kernel panic. The forcedeth-v driver from Leo4All works better. Have you installed AC-97 Audio or ALC850? I now have SPDIF out in my output list, with AC-97 I hadn't. But I've not tested it ;-)

I have an Opteron 185 CPU which is nearly the same like the FX-60 (2x,2.6 Ghz, 2x 1MB L2-Cache). I've it running at 2.86 Ghz on Zephyroth 10.5.1, on Leo4all V3 it can be pushed to 3,03 GHz. Xbench Score 177,93 without disk test @ 3,03 GHz. The ATA-133 IDE disks had a great performance on OS X, the actual ATA-100 or SATA HD's are much slower in random access. A better nForce HD driver would be handy.
I am using ALC850 from start, I also have SPDIF output. But test it cuz its not working here.
I have disabled both onboard LAN connections and using D-Link USB WiFi stick. Just to minimise hardware recognition for mac, and as it is i require only one internet receiver.

I mostly toyed with different kernels 9.2.0 , 9.2.0 sleep and 9.2.2 modbin. (9.2.0 is the best, sleep one is OK, modbin 9.2.2 crashes sometimes)

My CPU was also overclocked @ 2.8 GHz, and i was not having any issues, but currently for testing purpose i am running on stock speeds. Will see how system reacts for installation of different softwares.

Regarding SATA performance. Its perfect. The file transfer, installation is as par equivalent to other OS's speeds.

I gotta check Burning capability of my Asus SATA DVD RW. will be doing that soon.

Currently its running smooth...only problem i got .., just 2 times, in Firefox browser. The PC just hanged. No idea why.

CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (SSE2 only)
MB - Gigabyte G8-K8NF (nforce-4 chipset
Audio - AC97 (onboard) -- driver from DVD
Ethernet - Nvidia4 onboard (forcedeth)
HD - SATA 7200 75GB ST380811AS - Seagate
DVD RW - SONY DRU-820A ATAPI/IDE
Video - Sapphire (ATI) 2600XT 256MB with CI & QE working via natit/netkas.org

- Had to boot install with "-x" to get video working; installed drivers from netkas and video is perfect
- Default 'forcedeth' driver on DVD seemed to crash persistently and predictably after moving 1-2GB; installed the latest from insanelymac (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=12933&st=0&p=82071&#entry82071 ) and all is good.
- Had to use MBR; GUID would not boot, got the 'b0' and none of the workarounds would fix.

The audio is a little weird for the system "beep", sounds more like static. But, itunes plays back fine.

npanxx, your system alerts are sounding like static because you have a SSE2 processor.

I had this exact problem until I upgraded to SSE3. It's best to pick up a cheap SSE3 processor off ebay

You may find quicktime crashes when playing divx too.

OSx86 distrobution locations not given out here

Information on where to obtain OSx86 distrobutions is not allowed on this site. Subtle hints can be given... such as "check your favorite torrent sites"... direct links and specific directions on where to obtain these will be deleted though. Google is also your friend. :-)
