boza111 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 HI As my title says my processor supports SSE3. Its a 3.2 Pentium 4 prescot processor with Hyper Threading. I am using the 9100 Dell inspiron. The weird thing is that in osx it says that my processor is running at 3.4 ghz. Does it overclock it ? How can i get itunes to work ? I think its weird that it cant get SSE2 to work . Thank you very much in advance .

-TiLT- Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Maybe you or the one that created your installationDVD applied a nosse3 patch. That would prevent the OS from using the SSE3 instructions, as far as I know. Maybe its possible to replace the kernel with one that is unpatched or that has only the patches you need.

boza111 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 i have not applied any noSSE3 patches. Infact i havnt applied any patches at all. Maybe there were patches whoever made the Universal installDVD 10.4.5 . Is there anyway how i can find out if there is a patch applied and how to get rid of it?

boza111 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 if it helps when i go to system profiler. This is what it says CPU Features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM EST So it doesnt say it includes SSE3. In a guide i read that i might need to download the CoreGraphics.rar but i cant find it anywhere. If SSE3 isnt working is itunes not meant to work at all ? or just slowly ? i would really appreciate it if someone could help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17043-songs-in-itunes-skip-even-though-my-processor-does-support-sse3/#findComment-110385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boza111 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 ok i have found out what patches are currently installed . these are the patches installed: MAXXUSS CPUID Panic Patch MAXXUSS RTC Panic Patch MAXXUSS Kernel (v0.4) MAXXUSS AMD Enabler MAXXUSS SSE3-Emulator v5.0-8G1165 Its strange that the SSE3 emulator is installed. Could that be the reason why it is not working. Could someone PLEASE help me . i know other people must have had issues with this Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17043-songs-in-itunes-skip-even-though-my-processor-does-support-sse3/#findComment-110606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macprodan Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 i heard on the grapevine that in 10.4.4/5/6 it will show SS instead of SSE3, if you CPU has SSE3 it will use it even if there is a SSE3 Emulation Patch applied to the kernel. Try disabling HyperThreading in you Bios see if that stops the Audio Skipping.

fOZf8 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Also, most of the motherboards onboard audio that have been working are still not running with accelerated drivers...just bare minimum to work. Make sure in the iTunes preferences you've disabled crossfading and the volume normalization {censored}...worked for me on my Pentium 530 (3ghz HT) in 10.4.5. Now however, in 10.4.6, it runs smooth...trying to run a total PPC app like Audion though it does occassionally skip and crash etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17043-songs-in-itunes-skip-even-though-my-processor-does-support-sse3/#findComment-111047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
