Interesting to read the 50+ pages. I am on EFi-X for the last 3 weeks and have not run into a single problem and now planning to build another Generic PC for my friend who is dying for a Mac.

I see plenty of you going through a tough moment to run Mac OSX on Intel rig. Perhaps should consider a EFi-X which make life much easier.

What is the issue with the GC? You may need to get hold of an external USB BT dongle and test it out. Even a cheap China Made BT will work. I ran into the a problem pairing with my previous MSI BToes 2.0 and got hold a a DLink BT solved my problem.

Just to stray off this topic. For those who can stretch the money a bit further should try to invest a EFi V1. It is far easier to have a hybrid mac as it does not mess with any "kext" as long as you have the compatible hardwares.

I've been running Mac via EFi-X for the more than 4 weeks and every Mac application is running fine. You may look at my inventory listing below for hardware listing.

I am considering to install OS X Leopard Server onto my HyBrid Mac Pro. Downloading in progress now and wonder any precautions to be noted.

D-Link DWA-556 Wirelss N works well with Hackintosh and/or EFi systems. The hardware is recognized as AirPort Extreme Card.
