Hi Don,
It worked right out of the box with no hassle for me, first on a pc/xp,
then my mac pro running win xp.
I bought Mike's drivers and used those on the mac, since it's multicore,
but there were no irq's that needed to be set in windows, etc. Virtually
painless.
I got the expansion kit and put it in my own rackmount atx case, with a
big silent fan and 500w power supply. It's much quiter than my
experience with the magmas I've had, but of course I guess you could
always swap fans in those also.
Cheers,
TC

Don, I don't have the Gigabyte MB set up yet. I'm planning to use an Intel
Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4Ghz. I'm presently still using an old ASUS
BH6 that East Coast set up with a 1.4 GHz processor upgrade. Really, really
old technology. It's still working without a hitch though. Have you decided
on a new setup?
