dashaund Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I was just curious is anyone had tried using one of the new Intel Quad Core chips with OSX86 yet. I saw the Q6600 on Newegg for $289. A little expensive, but not ridiculous. The reviews on Newegg look pretty good...I'm sure it would fly on XP doing some of the video compression that I do. But I wouldn't want to get one and it not work nicely in OSX86, so I was wondering if anyone had used one with OSX86...if so, how does it work?

Rp4k Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 i would like to know what settings you choose on the uphuck 10.4.9 or 10.4.8 package so that it would support and use the quad core. if someone could let me know what settings they picked. that would be great Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60709-any-one-used-an-intel-quad-core-chip-with-osx86-yet/#findComment-431462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

voxxdigital Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 No uphuck here I used Jaz 10.4.8 then the 10.4.10 update found at the bay of pirates. Nothing more.. A friend of mine is using a 8-core Xeon PC with Jas 10.4.8 DVD (he probably updated by now). Fast as hell. Allsop, what is the file name?

kiwinux Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Quad Q6600 for me. Successfull install with Jas 1.4.8 PPF1 & PPF2, with NV40 patch for 7600GS. The Q6600 is found like 2 * Core2 Duo @ 2.4 Ghz Sometimes, my hackintosh freezes. I have try Uphuck 1.3 and Uphuck 1.4i r3 but i have no luck. Always does not work, maybe i have not found yet the right combination.

I have try to change the "kernel flag" to "fsb=266" but always the same. Thanks for your feedback, i will retry the Uphuck 1.4. Which patch did you choose in addition to the remove apple_power_management ?

Seeyou Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 8 cores work perfectly over here. My setup: MB: Tyan Tempest i5000XT CPU: 2x quadcore Xeon E5310 Ram: 4x1GB FB DIMM VGA: NVidia 7600GS (Dual Monitor - Dual DVI) I chose the Tyan Tempest i5000XT after a serious research. Mac Pro uses the same chipset and uphuck 10.4.9 OSX runs flawlessly.

Actually, my DVD was older than I thought ... I have uphuck's 10.4.9 DVD v.1.2 - sorry for the mix-up. Here's what I chose when installing: 10.4.9 Intel uphuck Universal Kernel 2 Natit drivers Yes, I did not check the "Remove CPUPowerManagement kext" option - my system works fine with it being installed. ... If someone could post 1.4.10 update on usenet, it will be great Yeah, never seen the 10.4.10 update on Usenet, either. I grabbed Pascal's updater via BT - worked wonderfully, btw.
