anomaly Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I have a Pentium D 820 (poop I know) and a Intel branded 945P mobo lying around and might try building a "InMac" with it if I knew that OSX would see both cores as individual processors. I read in a HCL somewhere that Pentium D's show up as one core thats hyper-threaded. I'm also interested to know if any AMD X2 users out there have OSX running and showing their system as having 2 processors; anybody have any luck? I'd much rather go AMD dual-core than build on the Intel poop I have Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5095-dual-core-processors-and-osx86/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) On 10.4.3, a Pentium-D shows up properly, under 10.4.1 I had that weird way. Nothing wrong with that Pentium-D, either. It is a bit hot and not as fast in games, but 90% of people would never know.

anomaly Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thanks for reply I'm glad that 10.4.3 properly identifies the two cores. You using sata hds? Know if the 945P chipset sata control is suported? As a side note I got my Pent D 820 and Intel Branded 945P motherboard for $225 so I guess I shouldn't complain too much Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5095-dual-core-processors-and-osx86/#findComment-32511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Yes, SATA works just fine on ICH7. Not sure about RAID on ICH7-R though.
