since i intend to go mavericks is there any point in doing much updates etc?

ahh the teamviewer issue is due to multibeast does not install a valid serial number...
number does not have to be a real one but has to follow a pattern...

Yes the installers use a standard generic serial number and you can use a utility that can edit your serial number and you simbios numbers - i believe its called chameleon Wizard and its in downloads ... Community software.
Here is a link that explains some of the functions it does

besides the teamviewer issue i wonder why i can get arround to enter the bootflags at each boot?
spec these ones: PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes
and then what if i upgrade straight to Mavericks after this? if that is possible at all with my system

Burning Iboot to a DVD is not recommended.. use only CD.
We have a post on Gigabyte UEFI BIOS for these early Motherboards - see if you can find it....compare
I Boot 3.3 should be what you want.
Also remove the Video cards and set only one into the first PCIe slot. If you have an older card like a GT9XXX or GS 8400 series use that only - also remove every other card in the system - WiFi.
You will need to use DIGITAL video out so no DB15 connector (VGA) also on the monitor. Use DVI only.
When you type in the command switches you should see lots of text scroll by... if it stops on something take picture and post.
The APPLE DVD of SL should be the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 version ... what is yours.
When you swap the Apple DVD and press PF5 to see the ICON for the DVD - press space bar and type these values in ..
"-v -f acpi=off PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=No " no quotes
THen take pic when it stops and post that.
Before you get to Mavericks we need to get Snow Leo installed and functional....
Baby Steps dude...

during boot yes a lot of text but it does not stop

now you tell me to enter PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=No??? before you told me to enter PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=YES ????
but again it does not stop
again its running... i just need to enter PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=yes at every boot
now i'm total confused.... maybe you have forgotten that you have already helped me out a lot?
