I've searched the forums for days, but can't find any explanation or solution to my problem.

 

PPC apps really slow, nearly unusable (near the same speed than running Mac OS X under VM-Ware)

 

I use the 10.4.3. DTK with JaS 4.2 on a Celeron D 345 ( 3.06 GHZ and 1.5 GB Ram...)

 

After all I _guess_ that the Patch for SSE3 is not working correct, or with other words: it seems to work on my machine, but hasn't to.

 

CPU-Funktionen: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM SSE3 MON DSCPL TPR

 

I've read the documentation of Maxxuss about his emulator which says it catches Illegal Opcodes which will be thrown on a non-SSE3-System and translates them on the fly to SSE2 code. So, in this fact, this error codes should be never thrown on my SSE3-system.

 

But why in da hell are my PPC-Apps so slow? I relly want to use MS Office and Photoshop, but if I start Office and type something, it takes nearly half a second untill the character apear on the screen and the menu latency is about one second!

 

The patch-solution comes with different "uninstaller" but there's no unpatcher for the SSE3 emulator.

 

If I understand, I should only need the NX Patch?

 

Any help would be welcome...

Ahmm... "Base Patch"?

 

I think I'm getting to old for this ;-)

 

 

My system seems to be patched allready... I have the mach.kernel orig... (from the "patches" folder of my preinstalled dvd)... so, which patches must i apply ... if I can get my hands on it.

 

Sorry for this noob-questions...

I think your problem may be specific to your motherboard chipset, the VT87551 is not exactly a recommended chipset. You should attach your setup in your signature when asking for help. You should also try to run Xbench to see what is slow in your system.

I'm using: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?s=...indpost&p=79217

- Intel Celeron 345 (Prescott)

- MSI MS-7095 with P4M266 (VT87551) Chipset

- 1.5 GB Ram

- 80GB HD with Windows XP

- 300GB HD with two partitions: 260GB Windows Data (NTFS), 40 GB (primary) MacOSX

- Matrox Millenium G450

I think your problem may be specific to your motherboard chipset, the VT87551 is not exactly a recommended chipset.

Hmm... that sounds bad...

 

You should attach your setup in your signature when asking for help.

:blush: I'll add it asap!

 

 

btw. xBench states my (very old) Seagate as the slowest component :blush:

I've disabled Beamsync a few days ago, that gave me some extra points.

Next week I'll buy a new harddrive for Mac OS X, even my USB-connected drive is 3 to 4 times faster than the seagate
