Pre Install
on my bios after playing around and trying different combinations I just left as Optimal defaults.

Install was a breeze I just used the PCIRootUID=1 and in 20 min or less it was rebooting.
Had a bit of a issue on reboot the apple logo with a wheel spinning black and white but the audio came on with the intro movie but no video still the (apple logo with a wheel spinning black and white) powered down and up solved it with GraphicsEnabler=No
loaded osx no problem just low res video, but everything else was up and running,

Installed the 10.6.8 update ran the multibeast with the EasyBeast and System Utilities

Pic's of BIOS and System profiler:
