Thanks for the reply.

I changed out every component on the computer for ultra-quiet stuff, so the fan is silent even when you open the case and put your ear next to it, same for PSU and all other...

I would have been surprised if SATA was your problem, though little puzzled by FAT being so slow. It's not that robust a filesystem but it's not normally a slow pig.

I've had my Hackintosh working through this thread for some time, probably a year by now, and have no real issues with it. Firewire works, sound is through an iMic USB connector, Ethernet is a PCI...

I use a PCI card

I found the on-board Rev 1.0 Ethernet card to be a little flaky over a long period of time. Perhaps after a week or two of non-stop use, it would then stop working. Disabling it and then re-enabling...

Benchmark of quad core vs dual core on G31M-ES2L

I took the plunge and ordered a quad core Q8300 and fitted it to replace my E6300 dual core. I do a lot of video rework and wanted multiple cores.

The older dual core is 2.8GHz, the newer quad...

Update on 10.6.3 - USB disconnects fixed
