I have the ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI MOBO and have not been successful loading OSx86 on my system. I have tried iAtkos 4a, Zephyroth for Phenom, Kalyway 10.5.2, and Leo4All Version5 (Server Retail). I get the furthest with…

“I ended up buying an IDE HDD to try for these disc, but at the time, this LawlessPPC was not out. So my rig is set up to try. I am downloading now and will try as soon as it's done. I'll keep you posted here. Thanks.”
