Hi,

It seems that Snow Leopard won't work with Ivy Bridge processors/mb unless you have a hacked kernel. I don't feel confident enough to do that (besides, it's against tonymac forum rules to discuss that). Would suggest that you go straight to Lion/ML.

Don't know how that will work either - am just getting started myself with an almost identical config as yours!

All the best.

UPDATE

News Flash....


We have a new iBoot cd for Ivy Bridge that supports the Ivy Bridge line of CPU's and this should allow you to get you to install SL and then allow You to get to the APP store and purchase - download - make - and install a UniBeast flash Drive.
