spreaderb Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hi all, I currently use the 8.8.1 semthex kernel included on the 10.4.8 JAS SSE2/SSE3 Distro. Is there a kernel available which better supports applications using SSE3 code like iDvD, dvd player etc.? regards Chris Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47151-best-current-kernal-for-sse2/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
spreaderb Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Addition to be more precise: when I use uname -a I get the following response revealing that I use the semthex kernel from December 9th Last login: Sun Apr 1 13:27:50 on console Welcome to Darwin! noname:~ tom$ uname -a Darwin noname 8.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.1: Sat Dec 9 22:18:27 AZOT 2006; semthex:/nebukadnezar/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386 tom:~ tom$ In general I am very satisfied with this. I just upgraded to 10.4.9 keeping the kernel and all programs not using SSE3 too extensively are running perfectly like Photoshop CS3, Lightroom, iTunes, iPhoto ... Problems are with iDVD and DVD player which is definitely due to SSE3 code.

Mr. Bond Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Yepp....you'll probably want to upgrade that kernel to the newest SSE2 release, which you can find a link to on Semthex's homepage. Nebukadnezar is slightly outdated now, and you'll probably find the latest far more stable.
