Munky^ Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi, Can anyone tell me what's currently the most stable version of OSx86? Is 10.4.8 causing people more problems than earlier versions? If it makes any difference, I have an AMD 64 SSE2, and an NForce3 motherboard, which I had working last year with 10.4.2 or .3. Looking for an easy life as opposed to bleeding edge features, would like to do some basic web dev in OSX. TIA, m Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41176-current-most-stable-version/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiqo Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 If your current version works ok..keep it that way! Dont upgrade if you dont need to. Anyway... i had 10.4.7 running smooth on my amd and my intel SSE2 machine. 10.4.8 with the new kernel gave a lot of problems on my sse2 machine. This may have to do with a lot of stuff, but it was not as stable as the 4.7. I swapped pc's and im running 10.4.8 on amd sse3 which runs "Stable". Again..this depends on what mb/cpu/vga you're using..and will be different on other machines. Just try to install another version...see if it runs stable on your system. Else..you can always stick with the os you're running right now, as it seems stable enough for you. Good luck !

lord_muad_dib Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 imo there's no point to install an old version, a lot of apps won't work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41176-current-most-stable-version/#findComment-294375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munky^ Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 for AMD setup, grab tubgirl 10.4.8 AMD final release. It should be perfect... Should this work OK with SSE2 and Nforce3 (PATA) ? (There's some confusing comments on the Piratebay torrent) Is it right that this release is only 2.3Gb ? Sorry for confusion, this is for a new install, I hosed my old 10.4.3 install as it had too many problems to be usable, wanting to see if those have been fixed in later releases.

joe75 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Is it right that this release is only 2.3Gb ? That's the size. You should have no problems with SSE2, do not do security update without running myzar secupd patch after http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=245712 Edited February 6, 2007 by joe75 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41176-current-most-stable-version/#findComment-295438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
