babyjenniferLB Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 hi i installed 10.4.5 but for some reason my system profile isnt showing SSE 3 the chip has it i know it dose cos its a Celeron D 331, it even has EMT-64T(intel 64bit) this dosnt show up ether. is there anyway to find out why, i didnt install any patches just the defalt install form my DVD i got.

babyjenniferLB Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 aww i got bigger problems now, i tryed installing front row but it messed up my computer i cant get into my keyboard and mouse settings now and the ppc front row i had dosnt work properly ether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_Callahan Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Wich DVD did you use? Myzar's DVD? For MacApprentice: Firstly, hello and many compliments, I've seen your posts around and I'm impressed of you!!!! You probable asked the question above because the Myzar DVD uses the sse2 patch, amd and probably other types of patches. If I haven't read incorrecty in another post, you were able to take out the amd and sse2 patch. Is that correct? If yes, can you explain it step by step? Thanks alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyjenniferLB Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 my cd has a folder with loads of diffrent files and kernels form that maxxuas guy. version 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atae Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 My understanding as of now is that SSE3 is being used if you used the the myzar installation and your cpu supports it. It is just not displayed under the system profile. Don't worry about it. Im sure its not worth the trouble making a whole bunch of tweaks so it will just say sse3.

It is just not displayed under the system profile. Don't worry about it. Im sure its not worth the trouble making a whole bunch of tweaks so it will just say sse3. This is incorrect. You have to install your own patched kernel with only the AMD enabler applied(if your cpu is SSE3 and supports NX-bit). It's extremely easy to do, just get the kernel and patches from Maxxuss's site. The AMD kernel patch has to be applied if you install from the Myzar dvd because some files have been changed that require it (even if you unselect amd enabler during installation). SSE3 is working happily on my system and shows up in the system information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofors Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 What the easiest way to verify that SSE3 is being used? I was thinking that Xbench scores should be significantly lower if SSE3 is being simulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysmd Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 So, I just stumbled onto this site and this seems to be the appropriate thread for my question. I have an exact match for Apple's MBP; the Thinkpad T60p. The video (X1600) and WiFi (Atheros) are all the same. I also have MYZ DVD 10.4.5. Now my question is will I have to do something to myz's DVD to make it recognize SSE3 and install properly? I can't wait to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSE3 is working happily on my system and shows up in the system information. This is misleading. My machine has SSE3 working happily, only it is not shown in the profile. The default kernel works just fine. xbench for machine 1 is 105.89, and there are is no slowdown executing SSE3 instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacApprentice Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 @bearcat> how do you get 105 in xbench? I got a similar machine and only get like 75 @Harry_Callahan> you just have to replace your kernel with a base patched one (and other patchs if you need more), depatching AMD patched files is more of a cosmetic thing I think but I maybe wrong.

macprodan Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 and how do you know there is no slowdown executing SSE3 instructions. OK, so if i start with the original kernel what patches would i need to apply.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 @bearcat> how do you get 105 in xbench? I got a similar machine and only get like 75 Hi MacApprentice, Well, I'm using a LCD monitor, so I turned BeamSync off, ie: graphics don't wait for vertical refresh cycles, info here: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=7288 And I enabled Quartz Extreme 2D, can also be done with the Quartz Debug app. cheers and how do you know there is no slowdown executing SSE3 instructions. OK, so if i start with the original kernel what patches would i need to apply.? I'm only trying to relate my experience. For the patches, you could apply them all except for the SSE3->SSE2 emulation, and test the results yourself. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macprodan Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 no matter what combination of patches for the orig kernel i try it just gives various panics. Id still like to see that Kernel your using With SSE3 displayed on AMD and 10.4.4 / 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macprodan Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 something def wrong with the A64's on 10.4.4 / 5 , only works if i apply the SSE3 > SSE2 patch.. dont understand it, the A64 X2's are based on the Venice and San Diego Cores both Have SSE3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
