~pcwiz Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 What is stopping you from installing the applications? What errors are you getting when trying to run the apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTR-33 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 What P4 is it specifically? There are P4s that don't have SSE3 which IIRC is vital to making the newer versions of 10.4 work. Try an old version, say 10.4.2 or 10.4.3 I know those work for sure without SSE3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 The lowest version I'd go is 10.4.7 or possibly 10.4.6 if I was really desperate. 10.4.2 and 10.4.3 are unusable, its well known. Plus, why would it matter if the CPU supports SSE2 or SSE3? If you have Mac OS X successfully working, the applications you run won't depend on your SSE#.

~pcwiz Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yes, thats a problem with video. You need QE/CI to run most of the apps you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Looks like it is working but the Xbench test won't confirm that QE/CI is working. Open System Profiler, click on the Graphics/Displays option from the left and see what it says next to Core Image, Quartz Extreme, and Rotation.
