dudies69 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 During installation of Jas 10.4.7 I ticked SSE2 and SSE3. I have a dual Intel XEON 3.2 Ghz machine and when I look into the info for the OS X system it tells me my system is SSE2 and nowhere does it mention SSE3. I am wondering whether only one of the SSE2 or SSE3 patches are suppose to be applied. I just assumed that both needed to be applied. My system is working ok, but thought I may have better results with the proper patches applied.

rkwok Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 according to the info on this site, only one of them should be checked, sse2 or sse3, not both. Â but if you machine is working ok, i will not worry at all, if it ain't broken why fix it?

brewno Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 If your machine is SS3 capable, you should have chosen SS3 mode only... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27074-sse2-sse3-during-installation/#findComment-184279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudies69 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 thanks guys I might reload the Jas disk and try it again to see I get better results. Cheers!

ZepFloyd Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 clicking both will result in SSE2 being used. If you have an SSE3 CPU, select that only. Rosetta works much better.

Damjanek Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Is it possible, to remove SSE2 patch off the working system? Everything works fine here and I don't want to reinstall entire system.

MacusAmicus Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Also, I have the AMD Turion 64 X2. CPU-Z reports it has SSE3. When I boot Mac (deadmoo) it shows SSE and SSE 2 during the verbose startup but not SSE3. Anyone know if that's because of the SSE2 patch? If I removed it (and how?) would I be able to use SSE3?

GBK.Xscape Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 not sure if anyone has tried to take off the patch but if u have just recently installed it then it shouldnt be that much of a hassle to reinstall with only sse3 patch. the people to ask would be like Rammjet, Kiko, or Jas. Anyone have any idea on this. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27074-sse2-sse3-during-installation/#findComment-215284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prasys Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 No . It depends on your motherboard. Sometimes it does not show. But it uses SSE3. For example my Dell rig. I had to select SSE2 [sSE3 would not work]. But again , Jas told me that , SSE3 instructions would be passed to the CPU directly instead of emulating it. To test it out , try iTunes 7. If you get not enough memory error , that means your processor does not support SSE3 , but if it installs it. That shows that your processor has SSE3. Its a simple test to do Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27074-sse2-sse3-during-installation/#findComment-215325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK.Xscape Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 well for the most part that test is true but for some sse2 users itunes 7 has worked on their machines. not sure why. but if itunes 7 works then you are set, most likely.
