Be careful mixing the Q6600 with the motherboard, the new stepping needs a BIOS update on many motherboards.
Other than that the F-190HD is an awesome bit of kit, had a bit of trouble getting sound to work with SP2, but I think that installing SP2 with the sound disabled should get around the driver issues as I think the Realtek software was running in the background and stopped SP2 from updating it.
