This PC does circle around my macbook! Boot time is ridiculous fast (about 10-14 seconds). Ubuntu is right behind it about 15-20 seconds (roughly same).
Windows of course the slow as usual. They improve the boot time with '7', but still is in the 35-45 second range!!

Wow! looks like you have the working phenomonally!

any chance you may be able to tell me how you got your ethernet / sound / video drviers (or kexts) to work? I have the same motherboard, but haven't had quite as much luck..

@nextowicked actually ethernet worked out of the box... the video won't, you'll need a graphics card (a cheap decent nvidia n8800, 9400, 9500gt force will be more than a enough) about the sound google for voodoo kext that should do the trick... i recommend to go to iosx86 forums (insanelymac) they are more pro than me. i just got lucky i guess...

what were the drivers installed for the ethernet? I have a motherboard the same card but my internet does not work, but does not have network ip.

How did you get IPC 10.5.7? I have 10.5.6 and it is probably the best distro out there.
