DiaboliK Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 okay i just wanted to test this out and see if the 8.9.1(beta) kernel is all that cracked up to be.... seems that Semthex is the winner with his ND21 revision in rosetta , not by much but alot if your fsb isnt set correctly heres the the test setup: commmel lv-677 mobo , 512mb ram, c2d t7200 @ 2ghz 8.9.1 kernel stock fsb setting (rosetta): 1001 8.9.1 kernel fsb=166 (rosetta): 1216 semthex nd21 (rosetta): 1223 heres some x86 32bit benches for some comparison: 8.9.1 kernel fsb=166: 2631 nd21 kernel: 2663 it aint by much but, ill stick with semthex for now;) -DiaboliK Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45362-891beta-kernel-rosetta-vs-semthex-nd21-rosetta/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Interesting stuff Its important to note that the 8.9.1 kernel does need its fsb set correctly, as it defaults to 137 (~548 quad-pumped), so if anyone is testing it and finding it a bit slow, remember to add the correct fsb= argument to the darwin boot prompt, or com.apple.Boot.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45362-891beta-kernel-rosetta-vs-semthex-nd21-rosetta/#findComment-324256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonkoala Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Just curious - are you trying these under 10.4.8 or 10.4.9 as each kernel is designed for a specific version? Perhaps 8.9.1 will yield better results under a .4.9 system and 8.8.1 under a .4.8 system.

BuXb Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi all. I read that I can enable HPET in Semthex nd21? Does anyone know the parameter?
