Thanks.

Well I fixed the system memory issue. with Clover. MY system has the correct slots and memory.. 24GB. all fixed by adding the entry's in SMBIOS.

Still not luck with
Ethernet (INTEL) 82576 Gigabit dual port
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10C9&SUBSYS_10C915D9&REV_01

I have ordered an USB 3 card for MAC and a USB 3 WIFI Dual BAND for MAC too.

Need sound card advice.

Did you try AppleIGB.kext? It is supposed to work with that NIC.
Remember to repair permissions, rebuild the caches and reboot after installation before trying the network to see if it works.

I tried that. Got nothing. no panic, nothing, like it never install.
Maybe it wont with Capitan, I did not see any mention that it will.

Can you recommend to where it should be installed? what program to use ?

Copy the kext to your desktop, download and run KextBeast from the site downloads and run it. You can select to put the kext in S/L/E or L/E. I would suggest L/E.
Then run DPCIManager app and repair permissions/rebuild caches.

Thank you. Once I get the Sound card..I will post the build and details. Just got USB 3.0. Inatek KT4006. Works OOTB. and works in Windows 10 too. hence I do dual boots.

How about making a User Build thread in http://www.tonymacx86.com/forums/user-builds.28/
Describe your system and add pics, list what problems / fixes you encountered in getting an operational system. There are many who would like to build a dual CPU workstation and there are not enough dual socket boards/CPUs represented in the User Builds to encourage new builders.
