red_bull Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I have finally installed succesfull OSx86 on an extern HD (usb2). It was the version from the generic install dvd. I updated to 10.4.3. I deleted the AppleTPMACPI.kext and edited the file com.apple.Boot.plist as recommed on this site: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/SpeedBoost I have a Dell Demension 9150 with dualcore 3,2 ghz and 2gb ram. I tried out how fast Adobe creative suite works on it and the results are a bit poor; These are the results after launching a program from the third time. Adobe Distiller: 1 sec (On PC) 3 ,5 sec (On OSx86) Acrobat: 1 sec 3 sec Bridge: 2 sec 9,5 sec Golive: 11 sec 19 sec Illustrator: 8 sec 16 sec imageready: 3 sec 5 sec Indesign: 5 sec 11 sec Photoshop: 5 sec 13 sec With my old G4 it's the average of both. Is this slow or normal? I'll try some more things from the SpeedBoost tips. And i have some other problems: I can only use my dvd-rom drive (for very slow), not my dvd-rw. Do i have to set it to master? My soundcard, Audigy 2 ZS, don't work either. And when i put my computer asleep only my extern HD sleeps, my screen and desktop stays running. Any suggestions? Despite of these things (that should be fixed in a smal time) OSx86 is GREAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Your adobe creative suite on osx86 is running in emulation mode, and will do so until adobe releases a universal binary version. Putting your dvd-rw as primary slave should get it recognised. afaik, there is no support for pci audigy cards. The sleep function is a bit broken, many peopkle report that if you set it to sleep, it won't wake up again.. Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome And what about the other programs for mac then? Are they all running in emulation? afaik, there is no support for pci audigy cards.Welcome So i have to buy another sound card. Maybe later on audigy will be supported. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 So i have to buy another sound card. Maybe later on audigy will be supported. Thanks I doubt that. I also have an Audigy PCI card and hope some day it have support but I see very long wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
