EtherealRemnant Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Well... I have everything up and running. No more glitches. Everything I want to work (Except the Unity plugin when running in the Dashboard and the Radeon), works. My results using Xbench: Results 46.69 System Info Xbench Version 1.2 System Version 10.4.1 (8B1025) Physical RAM 2048 MB Model ADP2,1 Drive Type Maxtor 6Y200P0 CPU Test 27.98 GCD Loop 93.55 4.93 Mops/sec Floating Point Basic 58.90 1.40 Gflop/sec vecLib FFT 9.99 329.49 Mflop/sec Floating Point Library 65.93 11.48 Mops/sec Thread Test 60.68 Computation 44.46 900.72 Kops/sec, 4 threads Lock Contention 95.51 4.11 Mlocks/sec, 4 threads Memory Test 60.49 System 48.61 Allocate 194.63 714.73 Kalloc/sec Fill 38.33 1863.86 MB/sec Copy 32.79 677.31 MB/sec Stream 80.07 Copy 76.81 1586.52 MB/sec Scale 76.10 1572.26 MB/sec Add 83.92 1787.77 MB/sec Triad 84.17 1800.60 MB/sec Quartz Graphics Test 51.92 Line 40.01 2.66 Klines/sec [50% alpha] Rectangle 45.50 13.58 Krects/sec [50% alpha] Circle 45.14 3.68 Kcircles/sec [50% alpha] Bezier 78.76 1.99 Kbeziers/sec [50% alpha] Text 69.06 4.32 Kchars/sec OpenGL Graphics Test 35.39 Spinning Squares 35.39 44.90 frames/sec User Interface Test 49.11 Elements 49.11 225.39 refresh/sec Disk Test 75.25 Sequential 119.81 Uncached Write 123.32 75.72 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 108.54 61.41 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 135.42 39.63 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 115.19 57.89 MB/sec [256K blocks] Random 54.85 Uncached Write 20.62 2.18 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 144.50 46.26 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 96.37 0.68 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 140.40 26.05 MB/sec [256K blocks] Note the drive speeds. I think my system is pretty competitive compared to the standard DUAL G5 configuration it uses for baseline. What benches is everyone else getting, for a comparison? I'm running an Athlon 64 2800+ on a Soltek K8AN2E-GR with 1gig (dunno why it reports 2) of Dual Value Series DDR400, a Realtek 8139 card, and a 200gig maxtor HD. I must say, I didn't expect performance to be THIS great. Now if only I had my onboard nForce3-powered SATA... the numbers would literally rip off the page, lol.

EtherealRemnant Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 Okay. Had a few bumps in the road but I've overcome them now. The nForce3 250 modified kext that I downloaded would work sporadically... then it failed altogether. I stopped being lazy and patched the kext myself and it works flawlessly, no more flags, no more sporadic boots, nothing. Sound is still good. I have to remember to disable the onboard if I switch back to Windows or the system hangs (have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum in the system that windows uses). Sound editing applications (IE Reason) lock up, give errors about CPU usage, etc. Haven't tried photoshop yet but I can confirm that basic, non-accelerated shockwave games work, such as Text Twist. The dashboard works... Turned on the magnification effect of the dock... No slowdown there. iTunes STILL bugs out on me though occasionally... Running the .5c patch and its improved but still crashes.

Liam Legionnaire Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 could you post your computer's specs? plz I got that u have 2 gigs of ram, and I know what HDD you have, but without knowing your full setup, this info is kinda useless... Have you gotten the full ilife suite to work. If so, how is garageband compared to reason? edit, ahh, I see it now.
