Vanderlee Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi all... I have OSX 10.4.3 running dual boot on my machine: - Pentium M735 (1.7Ghz) with L2 2MB, its support SSE2 - 512MB DDR PC 2700 - HD 60GB (6.5GB Partition for OSX) - ATI RADEON Mobile 9700 64 MB Whenever I opened an application, the virtual memory is growing fastly (sometimes it almost 5GB), And after I used my mac for about 20 minute, the performance is really sucks. I think it because of the virtual memory. I've tried to add additional RAM, so I have 1.2GB RAM, but the problem is still appear. Actually I want to upgrade my OSX to 10.4.6 (after fixing the problem). Is there any patch or tweak performance for my problem? Coz I read on the forums, that OSX can run smoothly on my spec.

Vanderlee Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Does anybody have a same problem with me? Or should I reinstall it? Or maybe resize the partition, coz the free space is lower than the virtual memory used Thx, Andre Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24774-performance-problem-on-1043/#findComment-168870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanderlee Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi again.. I think it's UDMA isn't enable in my laptop... Because XBench's Score of my Disk Test is really slow... The result is: Sequential 36.67 Uncached Write 33.75 20.72 MB/sec (4K blocks) Uncached Write 51.34 29.05 MB/sec (256K blocks) Uncached Write 23.93 4.00 MB/sec (4K blocks) Uncached Write 55.04 27.66 MB/sec (256K blocks) Random 18.09 Uncached Write 6.12 0.65 MB/sec (4K blocks) Uncached Write 35.50 11.37 MB/sec (256K blocks) Uncached Write 63.98 0.45 MB/sec (4K blocks) Uncached Write 71.70 13.31 MB/sec (256K blocks) Can anybody tell me how to enable my UDMA or maybe the right kext?

ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Quite a lot of the time the hard drive has a slow result on xbench, and i wouldnt trust it 100% anyways. Id probally try downloading the jas full version of 10.4.6 or something. I have never really heard of your problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24774-performance-problem-on-1043/#findComment-169868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanderlee Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've downloaded the wrong version of 10.4.6 (I think) coz when I boot this it said that I have wrong configuration devices. T_T Anyway.. thx.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24774-performance-problem-on-1043/#findComment-169885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
