chris lopo Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm using OS X 10.4.7. Here is my hardware: Celeron D 326 (2,5 Ghz) Intel D101Ggc ATI x300 PCI-E Pata 40GB 72k rpm The sistem took a loooooooong time to install, to boot, to install and open softwares. I'm almost gaving up (at least for the next 3 months, when I will do a processor upgrade). Can I do something to have some speed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 how much DDR do you have and have you checked your hardware with the wiki compatibility lists? Also, last I checked, and someone correct me if i'm wrong, but the only way you can install 10.4.7 is by upgrading from 10.4.6...if that is the case did you ever have luck with previous versions of osx86?

Deviant0ne Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Did you install the correct instructions for your CPU (SSE2 vs. SSE3)? That might have something to do with your slow system... Could be the amount of memory you have installed or any other number of possibilities... We need more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris lopo Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 I forgot this detail: 1GB DDR400 1. How can I know if the system is using SSE3? 2. There must be something wrong. It tooks 2 hours to install. I did the same kind of install in my computer at work (Dell 170L / Pentium IV 2,8 / 1GB DDR400), and it's beautiful there. Installation tooks 20 minutes.

Praktiker Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Had the same problems with my Toshiba Tecra S1. I solved it with deactivating everything in the bios which had to do with power saving. After that it run very fast. regards Praktiker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 That celeron D should be SSE3. if you have windows installed/running on that other HD you can download and run cpuid. It will tell you what you want to know about your processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant0ne Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 You could tell if your proc was SSE3 with CPUz (Google for it) under Windoze. Something else you could try would be disabling USB keybooard and mouse support in your BIOS. OS X wouldn't install on my system without that step.

chris lopo Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Sorry for the late... Praktiker: I did the changes in the bios disabling all kind of power option. No results. kernalzero and Deviant0ne: I did it before install to be sure that the processor has the SS3 support. It also has EM64T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandiztxu Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Probably you have a VIA chipset, and its not load correctly so only after installation you can fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.C. Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 My VIA 8237 works awesome with the JaS 10.4.6 Install DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris lopo Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Probably you have a VIA chipset, and its not load correctly so only after installation you can fix it My chipset is an ATI x200. I will try to find some info outside to see if I can fix this. Cross your fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salami Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 This may be a dumb question, but did you read and follow all of the speed tips posted on osx86project? http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/SpeedBoost I had the same problem, followed some of these tips, and now my os x runs faster than my windows xp!

kernalzero Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 could try this http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=9847 EDIT: this is a driver fix for the ATI IXP ATA with the x200 chipset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...amp;hl=ATI+x200 this was a work around that worked for 10.4.4 and flawlessly upgraded to 10.4.6. I assume it won't be hard to go from there to 10.4.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris lopo Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Well... After trying to apply a patch for PATA driver following wrong instructions, my OS X is giving me nothing than "i/o error" now. So I will collect every kind of information about Intel D101Ggc, ATI X200 Southbridge, ATI x300 PCI-E and how to be rich enough to buy a MacBook Pro and a Ferrari to build my dream O.S. And, If everything ok, try to write my page on OS X86 history. Thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Damn I'm sorry Christian Lopo I was hoping those links would help you not ruin your install completely. I hope you get it up and running again in working order soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris lopo Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 No problem my friend! We all learn with the mistakes (in this case, my mistake) Here I go for the 3rd OS X installation! But now I will do all "speed boost" changes before update to 10.4.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
