Thank you, That was very helpful,

I actually build the pc myself (no manufacturer's web site). I ran a command in the linux terminal that output that stuff because I forgot what I put in the darn thing.

I saw a tutorial to install leo4all on youtube. It seemed relatively simple and it is probably just as easy with any distro I imagine. right? I'll try ipc, that sounds good.

So if there is a driver for OSX out there for each of my components then chances are that it will work right?

Thanks for your help.
