problem solved, works out of the box with x32 flag
actually turns out it's not so solved!
i think this (vanilla) kext is sufferring from the same problem that the previous leopard jmicron was where if you use more than 4gb of ram it crashes.
can anyone else confirm? i can consistently get a crash by scrolling through my itunes covers until my 4 gigs (actually 6) fills up.
zut!
