DSSKing Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Gentlemen, With the help of this forum, I successfully built a machine from Kalyway 10.5.2 and took it to 10.5.5 with the pre/post installer. Now, to go to 10.5.6, can I use the same method?? The same pre/post installer? I realize that if I had used the boot-123 with retail, it would be a snap....but I don't want to reinstall everything. Has anyone done this?? I used the search function, but it all came back negative...... even when I searched for Intel D945GCLF2, it came back with NOTHING...which was strange.......... Thanks guys.

mcdrama Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I would guess your assumption is correct. I did try getting a retail install going on this same board(the N330 dual core Atom) and it would not boot the GPT partition+retail install. i've since been tempted to buy one of these little boxes for home(the one I messed around with was at work) as they use very little power. what ever previous method you used to update to 10.5.5 should work fine to get to 10.5.6. i'm personally a fan of buying the retail disc(which I did) and run with a vanilla install with only minor kext mods. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

UnaClocker Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I used iATKOS 5i on my Atom 330 board. Works like a champ, and I was able to use software update to go from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6. EVERYTHING worked out of the box, sound, lan, video, sleep.. iATKOS is awesome for this board.

UnaClocker Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The CPU rocks. It's not a benchmark queen, the benchmarks won't tell you anything about how amazingly usable the machine is, because the benchmarks are deplorable. It's a perfect CPU/board for someone who needs a hackintosh CHEAP CHEAP, or for someone who is just doing office stuff/light photo editting/web surfing/video watching. It's NOT for video compressing, video gaming, brute force encryption cracking..... hehehe.. It's awesome for the price, and will outrun any G4 based Mac.

don123 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'll sat xBench is not great on this board - mind you I've only been running for 8 minutes using iPC 10.5.6... I will have to say that UnaClocker is bang on - this is a great desktop board. User experience definitely surpasses that of my G4. My Setup: D945GCLF2 + 2 GB DDR2 CL6 + Seagate 5400.3 SATA + BCM4318 No tuning, no refining, just iPC installed and "WOW" it works just like that. I was curious though and did run xBench System Info Xbench Version 1.3 System Version 10.5.6 (9G55) Physical RAM 2048 MB Model Drive Type ST9160821AS CPU Test 28.86 Thread Test 104.58 Memory Test 72.14 Quartz Graphics Test 65.06 OpenGL Graphics Test 88.62 User Interface Test 30.29 Disk Test 29.62 I'm sure things could be improved...my CPU isn't reported correctly at this time (Says 4 GHz) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/148367-intel-d945gclf2-from-1055-to-1056/#findComment-1066951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
