Rob Turbo Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I recently bought an Acer Aspire One ZG5, it's the version with a 16gb SSD and 1gb ram (which I upgraded to 1.5gb), it has a 1.6ghz atom processor, I installed snow leopard 10.6.3 by copying the retail dvd to a usb hard drive, replaced the mach_kernel with the patched kernel for the atom processor and installed chameleon 2 RC4, it booted to the usb fine, installed very slowly, took about 3 hours at least to install, once it was installed it took about 30 mins to install chameleon to the internal SSD. After restart it booted straight to snow leopard but it runs very slowly, it will work fine then stop, then work fine then stop, it takes forever to do anything, I tried to install netbookinstaller to see if it would fix the track pad not working, but now it won't boot, it gets to the apple logo then says the computer needs to be restarted, so I'm going to have to go back into the installer to use terminal to sort it out, but why is it so slow? surely this can't be normal, it's not just annoyingly slow, it's un-useable slow. I thought with it having an SSD rather than HDD would mean it would be faster!
