Field Note #1 @avinash_4_ever 2010-07-22

ofcourse this will work great , amazing hardware u got there equivalent of imac27inch i guess, but u have to follow the empire efi method to install or iboot for p55 boards i think but the empire efi method will work for sure , great hw man enjoy the os x… make sure u buy 2 hdds one for windows and one for osx , for os x i would buy regular (120 or 160gb cos if u r using efi strings thats all ) and 320 or 500gb for win7 cos u want a dependable backup option to be available in case of os x crash isn;t it ,

gud luck
