mactogo Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'm not sure if this has been brought up before but has anyone else noticed the slow processor performance of the Turion 64 with OSX? I've done the usual modification of fixing the ATA ATI kext and that fixes the hard drive speed performance. The xbench scores show everything is fine except for the processor test. Anyone with the same problem? And anyone who can propose a fix? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18949-osx-on-turion-64/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytluxury Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Im not so sure this is a Turion only problem. I have a AMD 3400+ and I get sickening speed issues, but I cant root out the problem. Ive done almost everythign i can find on the problem, hopefully (!)something has just eluded me, but I fear it might be an AMD problem, as the only people Ive seen with such significant speed issues are AMD owners. Nobody has anywhere near a decent solution for this as far as i can tell, though i am delighted i dont seem like the only here with such speed issues.

mactogo Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 for a start you could check your xbench scores, i thought the slowness was due to my hdd but the scores showed it was the processor that was slow Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18949-osx-on-turion-64/#findComment-130432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with the same problem? And anyone who can propose a fix? I'm sorry but it's seems that my asus has that problem. So what's the usual modification for fizinf the ATA ATI kext?

Slee-P Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Just bumping this as I am having the same issues with my Athlon 64 3200+ laptop. Video card is GeForce Go 440.

twistoflemon Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Turion 64 single core here. Got everything working on my 1.7ghz (targa) laptop with x700 ati mobility (which was/is a pain to get working) but indeed its slow. Even when I'm not really doing anything my cpu feels its hard at work (it also get quite hot). For example running the system profiler, just seeing which processes are running takes 30% of my cpu usage. I've been trying 10.4.8, 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 all slow... I might try leopard but doubt It will be faster. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18949-osx-on-turion-64/#findComment-530878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
