The "alternate" CD is more reliable when installing Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1.

Click the checkbox here to get it.

NOTE: This is for installing only, not for testing the Ubuntu release as the "live" desktop CD does.

The alternate CD (hardy or intrepid) doesnt solve the P5Q* intel P45 MB!

Here:
ASUS P5Q Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P45
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 / 2.5 GHz processor
OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066
ASUS EN9800GT ULTIMATE/HTDP/512M GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
Seagate ST3640323AS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
ASUS Black 20X
CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 750 Watt
