bigjohnjr Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I have an older p4 2.0 ghz (sse2) compaq evo 512megs running 10.4.1. I did the pesuedo upgrade to 10.4.3 (itunes,safari,etc) The machine runs nice, no crashing, itunes works, safari is fast "with flash". Itunes syncs with my ipod. My printer works fine. Iphoto works. Should I try and do a full new install of 10.4.3? I see so many posts of people having problems with it. My only problem is that my monitor does not turn off when osx goes into sleep. I have read that 10.4.3 still will not fix that problem. Oh yea preview for pics does not work either, niether does windows media player. so I use a free ware program called "jview" for looking at jpgs and that works just fine. I even have vlc working so I can play dvd's, not that I do anyway. Like I said eveything else seems to work fine. I am not sure what I will gain by going to 10.4.3. Let me know Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5153-should-i-bother-with-1043/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairaghi Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hey guy... it seems you have the same as myself.. an EVO N610C. It works really fine with 10.4.1 and I was able to have wireless to work with a Belkin pcmcia card too. I'm seeing all the stuff about 4.3 but I'm really reluctant to upgrade... at least I will lose wifi and get artifacts on screen (now my Radeon 7500 works fine.. OK no QE or CI, but my eyes don't suffer..). My suggestion: wait....and enjoy with your 10.4.1. Ciao.

miranda363 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'd stick to what you know unless you plan to do some reading of the emerging problems with the new builds. I plan to go back to 10.4.1 it ran the quickest and was more stable for me anyway Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5153-should-i-bother-with-1043/#findComment-33115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 If you are like me, and emerge the urge of testing new things, install it. But if you plan to use it just wait until the water reach the proper level.

Is OSX really working on that notebook. Does it run on a interal partition or do i have to boot from external USB disk (which seems to make some problems on my machine i think) Sorry, for the lame questions but i'm just happy to have a stable Win2k beside WinXP up and running which took me quite some time. Any hints or links would be very nice. Niclas Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5153-should-i-bother-with-1043/#findComment-42209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
setec Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 bigjohnjr, As far as Preview goes, did you try setting it to run with Rosetta? http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=343 - setec Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5153-should-i-bother-with-1043/#findComment-44003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
