Jonny B Good Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Lets list which images people need for their specs. For example: CPU = Intel Pentium 4 w/ SSE2 Hard Drive = IDE Graphics = NVidea whatever. The Image you need is: Mac OS X 10.4.4/5 osx86 Patched Bootable DVD As for my case, I have: CPU = AMD Athlon X2 4200+ w/ SSE3 Hard Drive = SATA Graphics = ATI Xpress 200 integrated And the image I need is: ? (the one stated above doesn't support SATA and emulates SSE3) This way, we will have only one thread dedicated to whichever hardware configurations people have. And perhaps the generous people who make the ISOs will make specific ones for different systems. (I don't need SSE2 support, so there should be an ISO for people that actually have SSE3) And the usual DISCLAIMER: Downloading Mac OS X is wrong and illegal. Please support Apple and buy a mac is you so desire. Trust me, they are good computers.

theSpam Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 ...and emulates SSE3 No it doesn't. The kernel included with that ISO is "all purpose". ...So yes, it has SSE2 support, but if you have SSE3, SSE2 emulation will not be used.

Its for Intels w/ SSE2. It is labeled wrong. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13817-which-iso-to-get/#findComment-88464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny B Good Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 OKay, how about this. Can someone make a list of all the ISOs Available? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13817-which-iso-to-get/#findComment-89865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSpam Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 You see, that is the problem. It isn't Universal. Its for Intels w/ SSE2. It is labeled wrong. You've been misinformed. Under Customize during installation, you can select either the Intel patches or the AMD patches. So, YES, that DVD is indeed universal.

Jonny B Good Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Well it doesn't seem to recognize my SSE3 but most importantly, wont install because it doesn't find a harddrive because I have a 250gb SATA drive.

Jonny B Good Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Okay, the SSE3 works, but the SATA HD doesn't. Is there a patch for this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13817-which-iso-to-get/#findComment-94463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSpam Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 What SATA controller do you have? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13817-which-iso-to-get/#findComment-94488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Basilisk Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 What SATA controller do you have? Should I try the Mac OS X 10.4.4/5 osx86 Patched Bootable DVD My specs: CPU = AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (venice core + SSE3) Hard Drive = 250GB Serial ATA Graphics = ATI Xpress 200 integrated How do find what SATA controller I have Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13817-which-iso-to-get/#findComment-94785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
