all done, that was really easy... just follow the instructions and stick to the specs!

The SSD really made it fly - 15 minute OS X install.

With your SSD, you might want to take a look at: http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com/2010/09/mov ... ition.html

you read my mind! I did about 30 minutes of googling last night to find the best way to do this! This will be a job for tonight (along with reinstalling Windows 7).

Be sure to check the previous articles (on alternatives, and rationale for doing this...)

Good Luck !

I just ordered all the parts from:
http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/08/ ... -2010.html

I can't wait until everything gets here to get this going!

Quick question, should I be using the
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R-2.0-FA DSDT
or
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R-2.0-FB DSDT

I'm a totally new to this, but I think I've done my research pretty well. Thank you so much for this amazing resource.

It depends on what version of the BIOS is installed. I would recommend updating to FB.

Is there anyway to find that out before the motherboard arrives? I just got the one direct from the Amazon link provided.

No, but it doesn't take long to flash the bios. You do have to mess around a bit to get the bios file if you only have access to a Mac though..

No, you won't be able to tell until you install the hardware.But updating it is very easy.
