Well I had a good talk and a preview of EFiX at state. Its pretty amazing, the Boot Selector has a very nice GUI. Shows all your hard drives and DVD & Cd drives. All the Icons have a nice shadow over them, when selected over a drive you get a nice glow pulse from the center of the icon. Future Skins can be added later on. Huge support for Gigabyte boards. The EFiX device its self is very small and thin. If you don’t have enough room in your case, don’t worry it comes with a 10 cm extension cable so you can put it whatever way you want. The Leopard installation on your hard drive isn’t even changed. You can literally take the hard drive out and plug it in to a Mac and it will work. Retail DVD loads really fast, and can install straight from it, Disk Utility works. Time Machine works. Apple Software updates work like a charm, He updated from 10.5.1 all the way thru to 10.5.4 seamlessly, with no trouble at all and everything was working. The System Profiler shows your information as if it was a real Mac. For the “Model Identifier” it shows Mac Pro 3,1. For sound works but not all channels, they are working on a Sound Driver that will do all channels. For video they were using a 8800 GTS Asus. Which is also working, with sleep too. 8 Gbs of Memory, and a Intel Quad Core Q6660 processor. Its Amazing, Don’t worry I asked many questions
