snyder9 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Haven't tried ntfs-3g but I have installed Paragon NTFS 7.0.2 However, it will only mount for me in 32 bit mode.

Kevin87 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hmm thats interesting. I will try 32 bit mode. Will I see a big slowdown if I am running the system in 32bit?

afiser Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 macfuse, which is a program ntfs3g installs along side it, hasn't been ported to work with -x64 mode yet. got to wait for it. however -x32 works fine. and you most likely wont see any noticeable difference between the two.

MacFUSE very well was released for SL, including x64 mode. Read http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/CHANGELOG But afaik, ntfs-3g isn't available for x64 right now, so still no write access to ntfs drives Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183504-ntfs-3g/#findComment-1248498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin87 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 OK so I am now booting into 32 bit and it works just fine. Was doing some tests and it seems that they system is running exactly the same. One thing I found very interesting is that I get about 1000 points higher in geek bench in 10.6 then I did in 10.5.8 with the exact same system. After looking into some more of the details it seems that snow leopard is handling video a lot better. Has anyone else seen a different in scores. This really excites me because I do see a huge performance increase from 10.5.8 on my hackintosh. On my macbook however, I have noticed that it is about the same. I score almost the same with geek bench as I did before in 10.5.8. It just seems strange to me to see such a huge increase in speed in one computer but not anything in the other. I am guessing that because my macbook has integrated graphics it doesnt use opencl.
