When I was outfitting my MBP with an optical bay SSD, I had to disable hibernation. Otherwise, my system wouldn't wake properly and I would have to do a hard shut down and reboot. After executing "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0" in the terminal, this stopped happening. This kills hibernation, something I very rarely need and can work around.

I don't know if these kinds of settings are taken for granted in the OSx86 community but I am yet to see that anywhere. I'm sure it has been tried and tested, but I just though it may help if otherwise.

My 2¢...

p.s. I am also shopping for a mobo and came accross this post when I was searching for the Rampage II Gene...
