adriandkicks Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Ive been out of the loop for a while now so if someone can answer me these noob questions: Can OS X load on the new kernel with 64bit extenstions yet? Will it ever be enabled? Will leopard support 64bit?

gotoh Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 64bit is enabled with latest kernel. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43236-news-from-the-developer-front/page/2/#findComment-317585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotoh Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 maybe because you're on AMD... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43236-news-from-the-developer-front/page/2/#findComment-317815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 So the Kernel on AMD is 32 Bit? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43236-news-from-the-developer-front/page/2/#findComment-317845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotoh Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 the kernel is 32 ad 64bit, but it might be a problem with some specific extensions patched for AMD... actually, my AMD rig is not running in "legacy" mode, so 64bit is supposed to be enabled, but I don't really know if it really supports every OS X 64bit mode instructions...

Guest Ramm Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Too confusing...I say we make a new "bit" count. How about, say, 200? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43236-news-from-the-developer-front/page/2/#findComment-318000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Is SSE3-Emulation already at 100% in the recent SSE2-Kernel? I still got some issues running programs on my P4 Northwood, itunes is crashing sometimes, mostly when other sound sources are used at the same time. iDVD also crashes when burning a DVD to an image.....; So is the next release bringing emulation of ALL instructions? Thx! Me too have exactly the same problems. Wil the sse2 kernal have other improvments or bugfixes or is it the same with only the speedstep added?

WiZMaC Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Great!!! Looking forward to it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43236-news-from-the-developer-front/page/2/#findComment-324245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I think Tiger only support 64Bit in Command line, correct me if i'm wrong. That's why Steve Jobs said that Leopard will support 64bit in command line(unix) and UI. Tommy So the Kernel on AMD is 32 Bit?

Alessandro17 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 SSE2 more than likely won't be implemented into 10.5... it takes too much work and it would run extremely slow. If people are serious about running OS X, they should consider either a hardware upgrade or even builduing a new computer, as many of us have done. After all a fully compatible hackintosh can be built for around $600 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43236-news-from-the-developer-front/page/2/#findComment-324682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifki Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 SSE3 emulation is final, i'll say it again. It emulates all sse3 instructions. Its near perfect. If u dont like the crashing, then get a sse3 cpu, simple Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43236-news-from-the-developer-front/page/2/#findComment-324815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
