cool, good to know about the audio/LAN. Not perfect fixes but certainly easy enough to live with. I'm not too concerned about speedstepping, because I think this machine's either going to be off, or on and gaming or crunching photos. If it's not an easy fix I won't have enough time probably to do any real work on it before I need to ship it off to the owner; sorry I couldn't be more help there.

Looking back I bet I still was booting off iBoot when I had those USB issues in 10.6.5. Once I got an actual install of chameleon going I never even bothered to try again. I had actually also gotten USB3 working in 10.6.4, but can't remember which patched driver I used; do you remember which you're using?

I'm going to read through the thread again this weekend probably to get through most of the DSDT stuff, but are there any notable changes you made for the SLI3 besides HDEF I should know about?

Thanks
