Celeron it's not that bad

[donniedarko]

i've natively installed osx on a intel 915 mobo with a celeron D 2,5 ghz 325J (sse2+3-

native apps rock of course but ppc apps are not very slow.

i can run office et photoshop and it's usable in term of speed even if they crash a lot.

i will try fix from maxus.

for now i've just patched 075d stuff (can't remember the name)

if they were no crashes i could use osx 86 without any problems.

 

so celeron can run things fast

Question: is the Celeron D a 3x0 series processor ? I've been wanting to buy a Celeron 360/370 laptop (with GMA900 no less), because I've read somewhere it's a Cel D processor with SSE 3, but I can't get specific information anywhere, not even on Intel's site. Can anyone confirm this?

Donniedarko, how much CPU uses iTunes while playing a song? and MS Word?. Can you scroll iTunes songs list or word documents smoothly? If you press de Browse button in iTunes (in the top-right corner), is it fast? How much RAM do you have? What type of installation have you done (DVD install or Wmware image copy with dd)?

 

A lot of questions, I know, but we are a lot of people with problems with celerons and rosetta. May be you could help us.

 

Thanks a lot.

itunes it's 14%

word runs under 9%

 

i think it's still a little bit high but it's not that dramatic

Celeron D is an SSE3 processor. I looked it up on google. You can do the same. It is a little harder to find on intels site oddly enough. I bought one as well with a motherboard to match my needs.

I have an Intel Celeron D and it runs very very good, my OsX hasen't given me any problems. All app I tried to installed runs good except for Limewire and Azareus(Java) but I use alternative. Is time to realize that celeron has come a long way and it is not the usual low end that it used to be.

i've used the xpode patch

and now everything runs well

no crash at all

i'm using it for 6 hours now

i'm so happy

Not very hard to find at all on Intel's site. Just look at the product pages for processors.

If you look at the bottom under features, you'll see Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (aka SSE3).

Yeah, Celeron Ds (available in both 478 and 775 packaging) are Prescott core based processor, they have a 256K L2 cache, are pretty fast, and completely SSE3 compatible.

I have set up an ASrock mobo with a 2.8 socket 478 Celeron D and it rocks.

The only difference between the 478 and the 775 Celeron Ds (besides the socket) is the presence of the EM64T instruction set in the latter, but that is not required by OSX.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get a asrock P4VM800 to work, but after Darwin asked for boot-commands it's still returnuíng to the darwin-screen after 2 seconds. (I tried all options)

 

Can you give me a hint, how to get it running.

 

Thanks a lot
