johnmaia Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have 1GB @ 800Mhz of Ram But on the "About this Mac" its says "1 GB 333 MHz.." I'm wondering is this has anything about my bad video performance, yesterday i tried to view a movie in full screen in VLC, and the FPS were very low. Hardware: Asus P5LD2-SE [intel 945P/G chipset] 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 1GB 800Mhz XFX Geforce 8600GT 256Mb Bootin with this comand: "cpus=1" since i have some issues with my mainboard Chipset (acording the people on the iRC Channel).

Help! Well, even at 800Mhz, you should still have more than 1GB of memory, which could be causing the problem, as for the 333Mhz in the mac info, it is most likely a driver problem, but i'm not too good on that topic, sorry. I have the same Graphics card by the way Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/151717-ram-issue/#findComment-1072148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcamel Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 maybe part of the problem is caused by lack of support for that speed ram P5LD2 SE Overview Specifications Download - Intel 945P/G chipset - Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU - Intel® Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo Ready - Dual-Core CPU Ready - FSB 1066/800/533 - DDR2 667/533/400 - RTL8111B PCIe Gbit LAN Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/151717-ram-issue/#findComment-1072839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmaia Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 So, the motherboard does not support 800Mhz.. Dam Even so, it should be at least 667Mhz, and not 333Mhz.. Is there any way to change this in the Bios perhaps? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/151717-ram-issue/#findComment-1072997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to change this in the Bios perhaps? In my experience it's always best to use fully compatible components to rule out any issues that could be caused by miss matches. Is you video fully supported? QE/CI? Have you tried using quicktime full screen? try installing the perian plug in if quicktime doesn't support the video format you are using.

Is you video fully supported? QE/CI? Have you tried using quicktime full screen? try installing the perian plug in if quicktime doesn't support the video format you are using. Well, i sure have to thank you SO MUCH, because finnaly, thanks to you by telling me to try and view the video with QuickTime with the Perian Plugin, i can now view it in full screen without no problem. For that i thank you. You asked me if my video supported QE/CI, i think your talking about Quartz Extreme and Core Image, and if so, that is another issue i would like to talk about. My Graphic card is a XFX NVidia Geforce 8600GT 256Mb, on the System Profile, that does not show there. I'll try to type everything that's saying about her: Graphics by NVIDIA Chipset Model: Graphics by NVIDIA Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0402 Revision ID: 0x00a1 ROM Revision: Nvinject 0.2.1 <- Display 776: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software <- Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported <- QuartzGL: Supported Display Connector: Status: No Display Connected Maybe i'm using the wrong kext for my graphics, please, tell me what you think i can do to make it better.
