Rammjet Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 When using the Semthex kernel, you may need to set your FSB frequency. It is set to 200 by default. At boot, type: fsb=xxx (where xxx is a number like 166 or 200) fsb is a frequency fsb (freq) = fsb (speed) / 4 Find your fsb (speed) in your BIOS or: (OSX) System Profiler -> Hardware -> Bus Speed (fsb speed) (Win) PC Wizard -> Mainboard -> Chipset -> fsb (speed) and fsb (freq) are both avail Remember to divide the speed by 4. If your FSB (speed) is 667, then your FSB (freq) = 166 because 667/4 = 166 At boot, type fsb=166 or put the fsb in your boot.plist under Kernel Flags: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>cpus=1 fsb=166 </string> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
