randomperson21 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I am currently running 10.4.1 with an ati radeon x300PCIe gfx card. VESA2.0 AMD athlon64x2 3800+ 1GB dual channel ram ECS NForce4-A939 mobo. under 10.4.1, I cannot get QE or CI to work on my card. I see in the HCL that this card supports both of these. Is it just a problem with 10.4.1? Should I upgrade to 10.4.3? Also, if i boot the os with no boot flags, it will see both cores of my processor. but everything is very buggy, random crashes, etc. When booting with platform=x86pc, everything runs fine, but it can only use 1 core. Any ideas? would 10.4.3 fix that too? Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6924-ati-x300-pcie-qe-and-ci/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you will probably have QE + CI right out if the box with that X300 PCI-e if you upgrade to 10.4.3 8F1111/8F1099.

randomperson21 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 I'm downloading 10.4.3 right now, should be finished in a few days........ I really want one of the new core duo imacs, but i don't have enough $$ for one yet. maybe this summer. i'll check and see if the dual core problem fixes itself in the upgrade. Is it better to do a clean install of 10.4.3, or is it possible to do an upgrade? if I can upgrade, can someone point me in the right direction?

Himlaklar Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 If I were you I would do a new install with the newest version 8F11111A/G. Then you will sure have QE and CI from the beginning, and plus, I think this version is super =) Just try =) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6924-ati-x300-pcie-qe-and-ci/#findComment-42856 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it better to do a clean install of 10.4.3, or is it possible to do an upgrade? if I can upgrade, can someone point me in the right direction? It depends on the installer you use. For me, JaS' install + patches have always worked the best. Look for the 4.2b kernel he recently put out, as it has loads of lernel tweaks from Maxxuss and other neat bits. I used his kit and was offered and upgrade by the installer from 1099 to 1111 and I did that instead of a new install. The upgrade (and subsequent use) went flawlessly. I also have the ati x300se pci-x and have QE & CI working without any edits or glitches - it just turned on after the first boot with the upgraded OS.

zizux Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Just a quick question, I have a x800 pci-e on my home machine, will 10.4.3 automaticaly have everything setup with it also or is it just the x300se cards?
