entmike Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hello all! This forum has been a great help in getting me up and running with a Leopard 10.5.6 installation. I have recently installed the iPC Universal 10.5.6 version on my PC, and everything runs perfectly, with the exception of some odd performance issues after what seems to be a certain amount of HDD activity. This can range from doing simple things like playing WOW for an hour or so, to installing a few apps. Everything zips right along for a while, but then the whole system gets very choppy. At first I thought it was maybe video drivers, but this seems to be cropping up after even just installing a few apps. I end up having to reboot to resolve the issue. I'm not really sure what it could be, maybe I'm missing a crucial chipset or SATA kext? I'm running a pretty simple configuration: an Intel DG965WH motherboard with a 8800GT card. I've using NVKush for my video, and picked the ICHx SATA drivers during my installation. I'm using Chameleon 2 RC1 as my bootloader/EFI. Even got my sound working by patching my audio kext. Any help you guys could provide for this strange slowdown issue would be great! Thanks so much!

entmike Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Update: I've tried to switch to the Voodoo kernel, and the problem still crops up after about an hour or two. Best way I can get it to happen is while playing WOW. It's almost like after I go around enough world geometry things get laggy, maybe a memory leak?
