Field Note #1 @nfoav8or 2009-01-07

any of the distros that support ICH9 should give you support. the Quad should be able to use vanilla but don't quote me on that yet. I'd give the voodoo kernel a try first.

Field Note #2 @Aydinz 2009-01-07

far out! thats a monster of a computer! lol i reckon it would be as good as a Mac Pro if you can get it running on OS X i would defs love to see the xBench results of this beast all the best good luck

Field Note #3 @nfoav8or 2009-01-07

same here... just remember to watch out for the RAID controller. This could be a bum-biter for the system if not recognized right. disable it in the BIOS if any problems arise right away.
