steve22 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi! How come my Hackintosh works faster than the normal Mac OS X on a C2D iMac? Hackintosh: 2.8gHZ Celeron 1GB RAM Intel 915 video card SATA hard drive Macintosh: 2.0gHZ Core 2 Duo (4MB Cache) 2GB RAM ATI x1600 video card SATA2 hard drive ~Matt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49941-hackintosh-works-faster-than-macintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 What makes you say that? The C2D is supposed to smoke your celeron!!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49941-hackintosh-works-faster-than-macintosh/#findComment-356961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ictinike Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 xD Maybe your Mac is bloated to {censored}? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49941-hackintosh-works-faster-than-macintosh/#findComment-356983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Do you have any benchmarks to show this? The C2D should be way faster. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49941-hackintosh-works-faster-than-macintosh/#findComment-357081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFI Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 There is something seriously wrong with your iMac in that case. The C2D should be able to smoke the celeron in a flash. Make sure its not a hardware related issue, becuase it looks like it if its being slower than your hackintosh.

lord_muad_dib Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 hmmmm i bet you have an old kernel w/out fsb detection and all your benchs are going crazy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49941-hackintosh-works-faster-than-macintosh/#findComment-357099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve22 Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 My benchmark on my Hackintosh is 68 (xBench) on my iMac its 128. I am running 10.4.9. Is there anything I can do to improve the performance?

Guest Ramm Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 So what is your problem? The higher, the better, right? Your iMac is performing correctly according to those results.

Higher is better. Your iMac is almost twice as fast as your Celeron.

kernalzero Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 is this a perceived performance difference because your benchmarks don't reflect what your are saying and the hardware should be far better in your imac?
