olofd Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I have a ICH9 motherboard but I get much worse disk speeds.How did you speed up yours??If I could give you a kiss right now I would!!!hahaYour setting in bios took my disk speed from 10 points in xbench to 74 points!!THANKS SOOO MUCH!//OlofAnother problem I have is that when I installed the combo update my cpu-speed fell like hell.I have a q6600 and in 10.4.8 it was displayed correctly but in 10.4.9 it's not, How can I fix that??//OLOF Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61187-gigabyte-ga-p35-ds4-ich9r-based-hackintosh/#findComment-434388 Share on other sites More sharing options...

olofd Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yes FireWire works on this board. ddrdark, how did you get your diskspeed to over 80 in xbench. Please send us you bios settings, partition, filsystem etc. Your specs are great, I only get 36 points in xbench, not good at all. need high diskspeed.

LS8 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 No, HFS WITH journaled filesystem I'm also using HFS+, so where can be the HDD performance difference? My HDD should be approx. as fast as your WD HDD.

olofd Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 So is it that you use another update that can make your disks so much faster? Or is it actully the drive your using, Western Digital 500gb model AAKS SATA II, that makes the difference? One more question. Do you have another drive installed in the computer? If you use that drive in zbench, what do you get? //Olof Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61187-gigabyte-ga-p35-ds4-ich9r-based-hackintosh/#findComment-436820 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS8 Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 I will buy a aaks today and try to come to a conclusion I am looking forward to your results! It really sems that the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 "AS" series are slower than WD "AAKS" series, especially on random access. Seagate's "NS" series should be faster than "AS" disks.

olofd Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Intresting, but you can't compair osx86 operations to windows operations, though osx86 isen't working fully with ICH9a yet.. I have a GA-P35-DQ6 board and will do a xbench benchmark of the AAKS, SAMSUNG SPINPOINT, SEAGATE and A RAPTOR 150mb 10.000rpm this weakend. I hope that I will se big difference between Raptors, aaks and the others Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61187-gigabyte-ga-p35-ds4-ich9r-based-hackintosh/#findComment-437027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
