vaderd Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Got everything working with the Asus P5B Deluxe! You need a SATA DVD or IDE/USB-converter to install though.

vaderd Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Vaderd everyjting working? your HDs arent crwalin like other 960 ones? These are my scores: Disk Test 45.51 Sequential 99.48 Uncached Write 83.51 51.27 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 100.11 56.64 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 108.55 31.77 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 110.72 55.64 MB/sec [256K blocks] Random 29.50 Uncached Write 9.58 1.01 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 94.85 30.37 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 78.30 0.55 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 126.81 23.53 MB/sec [256K blocks] Not the best, especially the "Uncached Write", but it's not like it really bothers me as the sys feels very responsive. Of course if there is a way to get better performance i'm open to it!

trexplorer Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Got everything working with the Asus P5B Deluxe! You need a SATA DVD or IDE/USB-converter to install though. Great news. I am Planning to build the same setup ... A couple of questions: 1) Are both cores working w SSE3 under activity monitor ? 2) Have you tried using a regular IDE hard drive rather than SATA ? 3) I think that I saw a post by you elsewhere saying that you had this working with the new Semthex kernel ...? Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30839-help-on-mb-for-core-2-duo/#findComment-225703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
