In my next post I will post my specs in details.
Alpha: Is your system working finally ? interested in the
Andy: Can you pls. advise how I can dual boot with win7 and mac osx
When I created this thread, I didn't see an exact match for my configuration. So I was hoping the help I will get will be tailored specifically on the hardware that I got.
As far as rebooting without bootcd (via bootloader), that got fixed. System seems stable. LAN driver works, I can surf and download things from the internet.
I can view some youtube videos, but there are some videos that stopped playing (maybe those with adds?). I downloaded and installed Flash from Adobe, and it didn't seem solved the problem. Could be a Java thing? Not sure yet.
Also, seeing all 16Gb in 1600(or 1866) DDR3 is sweet.
My things to do/solve (need help on these):
1. Audio (ALC 889)
2. Bluetooth (would like to use the Apple wireless keyboard and magic trackpad)
3. triple boot OSX/Ubuntu on the same drive, and Windows 7 on a separate drive.
4. Would like to get turbo boost to work, and turn on other settings in EFI, like:
- Multithreading
- Speed Step
- CPU ratio to Auto, so I can overclock to my usual 4.5Ghz., and back to 1.6Ghz when idle
If this is your first Sandy Bridge build, make sure you have everything stable with Windows. You can't just use any RAM, make sure it's Sandy Bridge compatible (1.5v). Vengeance is preferred by Corsair for this system.
Any P8P67 Deluxe board issue, see you at the Asus forum.
Good luck.
