Hi all,
Hope you've found luck in getting up and running. For anyone else with a similar config that might find this useful, here is a quick rundown for my config, settings and confirmed-working features:
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Rev 2.0, BIOS FH
PNY GeForce 9800 GT 1GB (0x0614)
Patriot 12 GB DDR3 1600 MHz (3) 4GB modules
System Profiled as MacPro3,1
Boot drive:
The startup time from power-on to OS X logon screen is remarkably quicker than 10.8.5.
Overall I'm VERY pleased with how fluid and responsive things are all throughout the GUI
Confirmed working features:
Sound works
Shutdown/Restart works
iMessage works (yeah!)
FaceTime not tested yet (need time to play with this)
But the biggest bonus IMHO is:
Geekbench 2.0 64-bit:
Thank you, Tony, MacMan, and all the other contributors -- something way more than a cup o joe coming your way on payday!
I'm going to Ditto d.paolantonio for a moment here too... uploading my MB 6.0 settings and the DSDT for anyone else who might find them useful

Currently clocking at 14884 with the Mavericks 10.9 config
Previous 10.8.5 config peaked at 15595 - regardless I'm still very pleased overall
