stroke Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Uhm, you're running OS X on a non-supported PC. Why should it be guaranteed that it performs as well as a supported OS?

Snerler Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It should not be that much faster. Maybe something is up with your install...

josephien Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 it seems that it's your memory performance which is not quite fast compared to the other i7 system... also your comparing your 3.2 to a 3.8ghz cpu... do you run the same bios version/settings? greetz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/167931-is-windows-7-faster-than-osx-1057-no-osx-is-faster/#findComment-1163354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sama7896 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 what does it matter if osx is faster ? i mean you have a badass machine capable of smashing any video game conception made up until today, and you OSX it.... My EeePc runs well OS, so you don't need that much power to run well os... You clearly built the system for gaming, so there's no question what system should be primary inside your computer unless you run video editing, in which case i apologize and withdraw my reply.

Master Chief Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Some people just don't know how to properly OC their 920's because I beat the living {censored} out of it with a 2.5GHz Q9300 with just DDR2-800 memory, so go back to the web and get it sorted.

cyrusrayne Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I find any difference between the two systems to be marginal, but on that note, I would agree with Stroke in that I would be running OS X on non-supported hardware, so it wouldn't be expected to perform as a supported OS would.

XLR Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I find any difference between the two systems to be marginal, but on that note, I would agree with Stroke in that I would be running OS X on non-supported hardware, so it wouldn't be expected to perform as a supported OS would. Only in case the unsupported hardware directly affects the performance. My hackintosh for example, last time i checked got 4088 in XP 32Bit and 4890 in 10.5.4 on GeekBench, so go figure.
