Miro30 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hello, I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard because I recently upgraded to Quicktime 7.6 to run Final Cut Studio 3 in Leopard 10.5.8, but it is crashing my finder/computer randomly. It does not crash under a lower version of QT, but I need the new version to run Final Cut. Has anyone run into problems running Quicktime 7.6? Has anyone had trouble running 8 gigs of memory? My rig: Asus P5W DH MOBO, Q6600 (not a "go" stepping processor), 8 gigs of ram, XFX 8800 GT 512 ram. Any help would be great! many thanks, Miro Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/212248-does-snow-leopard-work-fine-with-8-gigs-of-ram-and-qt-76/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be great! many thanks, Miro I'm running 6 gigs on my rig and don't have a problem with the OS seeing it (kalaway 10.5.2). However, I do get crashes occasionally and sugest that as the amount of memory installed increases, so is the chance of installing a stick with errors- which is what I have.

Any help would be great! many thanks, Miro I am fascinated as to how you worked out that this was what's crashing your hackintosh.. but for the record I am running a GA-EP45-DS5 on 10.6.2 (fully64) with 8GB & Q8400 and its all fine but I had no issues with QT on 10.5. I assume Final Cut like Premiere allows you to turn off hardware acceleration as I'd have thought that more than anything else would lead to instability; especially given the way some 10.5 point upgrades moved the goalposts on some cards (I recall the fun I had on 10.5 with each minor release before I replaced my X1950 card).

I tested my system with and without QT 7.6, it started crashing when I installed QT 7.6. I can confirm that, did 3 tests. It was QT 7.6 every time. I am running Snow Leopard with QT 10 that comes native, and running Final Cut Studio 3 with no problems. This is how I came to my conclusion.
