Mileage varies with the SB700 and Kalyway, I venture to guess. One copy I burned loads fine on my mobo (GA-MA78GM-S2H), while another copy of the same distro (10.5.2) throws back a "still waiting for root device" error.
iPC may also work, but I haven't tried it yet. While the 740G is *much* less common than the 780G, the southbridge (SB700) is the same and thus, the northbridge shouldn't matter. Then again, I'm not entirely sure on this. I am sure, however, that the southbridge is the make-or-break factor when you pop in that DVD. The other stuff doesn't matter if your southbridge can't be recognized by OS X.
