Hardware Specs Reported in Dispatches
This is my setup: · Mobo: GA-G31M-ES2L · CPU: E5200 2.5GHz · Graphics: 8600GTS
You don't need to do the show package steps or anything, since you can actually go through the entire installer without being stopped anymore. It also seems to be VERY stable on my GA-G31MES2L
