flynt_castwood Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 i updated to 10.4.9 and the system info says only 1.6 Ghz CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6400 @ 2,6 Ghz ... Xbench shows a lower score too... any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45635-after-update-to-1049-only-16-ghz/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteo Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Reboot and press F8 before OS X loads. Then type: fsb=xxx (xxx = whatever your FSB is) If it works OK, set it permanently using com.apple.Boot.plis Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45635-after-update-to-1049-only-16-ghz/#findComment-326563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Fogge Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 For the most part, 10.4.9 is all about interoperability with Leopard. As far as performance goes, if you have multiple processors/cores and do OpenGL stuff like World of Warcraft, you will see a 10%-15% increase in framerate due to the new Multithreaded OpenGL implementation that was locked as being Mac Pro only for a while. If you have an Intel system, Rosetta runs a little faster on very complex tasks like Photoshop Action Scripts, however it is not that major of a performance benefit and insignificant compared to running the same action in the Photoshop CS3 Beta. ~Adrian Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45635-after-update-to-1049-only-16-ghz/#findComment-326873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mismamente Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I have a pentium 4 531, and usgin Jas updater my cpu is detected as 2ghz and not 3ghz (booting with nohpet kernel, hpet kernel simply restart my computer). Very bad Xbench performance. I get the latest kernel from irc (nohpet), and passing kernel parameter fsb=200 and system goes fast, better xbench and 3ghz detected properly, but it's not as fast as in 10.4.8 and with poor Xbench. I will mantain the 10.4.8 partition as my main OS, and the other partition with 10.4.9 to test newest kernel.
