Rammjet Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Usually. But some dual core CPU's cause conflicts with OSX and one of the cores may have to be turned off. A quick search of the board reveals that some people are running your CPU with both operating but there is a phenomenon called "stuttering" that happens. This affects some multimedia applications. Using a boot option of "idlehalt=0" clears up the stuttering. This option can be added to the boot.plist after you get installed. The lines in boot.plist would look like this: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>idlehalt=0</string> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 generally speaking, Intel dual-cores work fine, AMD ones suffer some problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
