killswitch911 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi, just wanted to know if anyone had a solution to laggy mouses when a lot of programs are open, or the CPU is in full use. I have a Intel q9300, and a GT9800 GFX card. I am running IATKOS v5, with the 10.5.6 update, and latest voodoo kernel. I should also mention it doesn't seem as snappy as it should be, especially on start up (compared to windows vista). I heard around here before that the best kernel for the q9300 is the modbin, but I cant find where to download the latest modbin kernel anywhere. Suggestions and help would be greatly appericated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The answer could be that your CPU is at full load and or your using a lot of applications which is taking up RAM which is making OS X slow, just as it would in Windows. I would think at least for AMD users (and I can only say this as my experience) is that because OSX wasn't built for PC's that the extra modifications slow it down a bit maybe? Also unless you've got OSX and Windows on the same hard drive I'd say try a faster HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killswitch911 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Well, i got 8GB ram, quad core. Dont think its the problem, on widows id have more applications open, without lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Alchemist Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Are you sure its not due to Quicktime? lot of users had mouse lag issues with quicktime 7.5.5 and 7.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdotorg Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Common problem with NVidia G92 chipsets. You can either reflash your card with the Mac GT8800's image, or delete / disable a kext: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext There are a few other threads about this. Search is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
