LaminarFlow Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I just ran the JaS installer on my newly built computer (specs in sig). After installing perfectly and booting into OS X no problem, I checked System Profiler, and it tells me I have no QE or CI. Also, when I run XBench, it beach balls me when I get to the OpenGL test and I have to force quit. Other than those problems it's very snappy and is definintely a lot faster than my 1.33GHz iBook G4. What do I need to do to get CI and QE working, and are there other tweaks I can do to help performance even more? I search a bunch but didn't see anything specific for this motherboard. Any help is great, thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20321-quartz-extreme-and-core-image-on-msi-mobo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteman1969 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Did you install the gma900 patches from jas 10.4.6 during your install? If not then that could be your problem. You state that you have gma950 which is not usual for a 915g chipset 915g chipsets usually have gma900 which need the jas gma900 patches. The only other thing i can think of is that maybe the msi mobo you have may have a newer revision of the gma900 chipset? Which may mean that you would have to edit the vendor and device id's in all the intel950 / gma 900 kext files ???? regards Niteman1969 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20321-quartz-extreme-and-core-image-on-msi-mobo/#findComment-133936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaminarFlow Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'm positive I checked the gma900 options on install, is there a way to reinstall just those drivers to be sure? From MSI's site: Intel® Grantsdale 915GV Chipset • Supports FSB 800MHz • Support Dual channel DDRII 400/533 memory interface upto 2GB • Support PCI Express 16X interface • Integrated Graphics Controller NewEgg's website just says "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900" Any other ideas?

bluedragon1971 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 You do need to manually install that GMA900 package after install. For some reason, even if you check it as an option during installation, it does not install correctly. Put the install DVD in your drive, and go to /System/Installation/Packages on the DVD. There you will find the file called 10.4.6.GMA900.Support.pkg. Double click on that to run the installation, then reboot when it is done. That will fix the problem.

Sailfish Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 AHHHHHhhhhhh!!! Thank you BlueDragon, the Lord, JaS and Maxxusssssss. I have been in deep despair over my CI and QE with my 915 Board and 10.4.7 That ABSOLUTELY did the trick. Xbench went from 65 to 86!
