Legacy Kernel 10.6.8 x64 Lag / Latency issues.

[TheDub]

Hello all!

 

I am running a AMD system and have Snow Leopard essentially fully functional. I have upgraded to 10.6.8 and the 10.6.8 legacy kernel which included the AMD64 option. I enabled it and it modified my /Extras/com.apple.Boot.plist to contain:

 

"-force64" and "arch=i386" in the kernel flags. (arch=i386 is supposed to be arch=i386_64 I believe)

 

With these flags, the system boots and recognizes all of my RAM! A first for OS X on my particular system. The fun stops there though, most apps work such as Safari but within Safari flash doesn't work. Tried Google Chrome / Firefox and they both barely work at all.

 

The system doesn't seem unstable, no panics, just lots of random hanging. Am I missing something?

 

Any assistant is as always appreciated.

 

Install method: Retail + Nawcom ModUSB

 

Thanks,

Dub
