Dell precision workstation t7500 dual xeon x5560 48 gig ram 10.6.x help

[TJRIVERA]

Hi all , I have a dell t7500 workstation with dual xeon x5560 and 48 gig ecc ram. The motherboard is intel 5520 chipset with dual socket 1366, one x5560 on the mobo the other x5560 on a riser extension. I tried multiple methods of installing mac os x snow leopard 10.6.3 retail, some work and some don't .

vanilla works but only with one processor but legacy kernel works with both processors , vanilla or legacy work very well" the only problem im having is my hard drives read really slow or lag , i have a western digital velociraptor 10k rpm for the OS, and four 1.5 terabyte seagate hard drives .

The mobo has 3 sata connectors labeled sata0,sata1,sata2, and 4 other sata connectors that are labeled hd0,hd1,hd2,hd3 , I think they are sas connectors not sure .

My OS is in sata0 and on sata1 is a 1terabyte hhd and on sata2 my cd dvd drive

and my four 1.5 terabyte hhd in hd0,hd1,hd2,hd3 they work fine but read as external hhd .

Any hard drive in connector sata1 or sata2 , read really slow and lag !

 

Any solutions for slow and laggy hhd, and any workarounds for the dual processors to work with vanilla ?

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method works with one processor but not two and the "myhack" method works with both processors but only with legacy kernel .

also ive only been able to use 10.6.3 with the legacy kernel when i have both processors and up to 10.6.5 on

one processor with vanilla .

 

Anything anybody can suggest to have a better working system is very much appreciated ! thank you
