Hi There,

sorry about this guys I just want to know what to install to the HDD from the DVD

i.e what patches to configure at startup - as I heard 10.4.6 has a never kernel specifically

for the features of a dual processor board - I wondered if the new kernel is on this release

as myzars 10.4.5 apparently doesn't have it.

 

 

My Specs

 

Intel GA-8i945GMF Motherboard

Built in GMA950

I945 express chipset

ICH7 - sata

 

Built in Marvel 8035 Network Card

 

Built in Realtek ALC882 soundcard -disabled using creative instead

as I need audio-in as well as out.

 

Intel Pentium D805 Dual Core 2.66 Processor (2 Prescott Cores 2x1mb Cache)

1GB DDR2 400 Dual Channel Ram (used in dual channel mode = ddr2 800 ???)

2 x IBM 200GB Sata Drives

1 x Pioneer DVD-R A07

 

As I said really need to know what patches etc to install from DVD

to get the best performance out of this setup.

 

Many thanks in advance

Hey niteman1969,

 

I have nearly the same hardware, an Intel D945GNT mobo and an Intel Pentium D 805+ (the dual core 2.66).

 

Have you had success booting with both cores enabled? If I don't disable one core in the Intel bios boot loader then 10.4.6 will not boot, it stays at the white apple screen, but no clockwise little spinning wheel appears.

 

If I disable (actually enable sw single proc mode in the bios) then it boots fine.

 

pls let me know if you've had success booting both cores.

 

thanx,

Merlin
