Andrey Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Just wondering, Is there anyone working on the fix for the stutter problem happening with AMD x2 CPUs? Thanks! Add the following to your com.apple.boot.plist file: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>idlehalt=0</string> My 4200+ is stutter free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrey Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Hey, I'm about to buy an AMD Athlon X2... what is that 'stutter' issue?? The infamous stutter issue is OS X's improper management of the second core in a dual-core chip. adding the appropriate lines to your boot.plist file [see my above post] has had a very high success rate.

macprodan Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 i think the rest of us that dont have the stutter free system with idlehalt need somthing to be written for OS X, shame we dont have the source for AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Cool'n'Quiet Driver Version 1.50.03 Linux - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Cool'n'Quiet Version 1.50.03 for Linux 2.6 series kernels. Provides support for AMD Cool'n'Quiet technology for Linux systems. Adds support for 2.6.10 and later kernels. Requires cpufreq-1.20, cpuspeed-1.20.1, or powersaved-0.8.19 or later to support SMP and dual-core systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
