splatteralus Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I installed with out a hitch! This is working awesome, my wifi is working and I got my rez up to 1280x1024. I have a few questions. I patched with JaS to 8F1111g, also it seems I'm running maxxuss's SSE3 emulator. My question is, would it be faster for me to not run this emulator? Would things run smoother without it since I have an SSE capable machine?

vins78 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have the same question. I think that if the microprocessor executes itself the instruction the emulator will be never called, so no change in speed will be. Is this right? V.

The emulation portion of the kernel gets turned off automatically once it sees a SSE3 enabled processor.

The emulation portion of the kernel gets turned off automatically once it sees a SSE3 enabled processor. true, but i found after making a kernel for my system that only had the CPUID patch on it, the system became a bit more stable, as it doesnt even have to look for SSE3 anymore, its just there. i dunno if thats how it works. but booting is faster, and accessing certain things seems a bit zippier. overall, i'd recommend trying to get a kernel suited to your hardware.

Careless Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 do you have another xbench test with more patches on the 8f1111? how does that compare to 99.99 score? well i got around 92 - 94 without them. 99.99 is the highest i got with OpenGL turned on, but nothing shows up in the black box, and i still get 50 marks for it. which is probably the CPU pre-processing involved in the entire OpenGL test. without the OpenGL part enabled, i've gotten 117 xbench. and that's with the Quartz tests too. My nVidia doesnt have quartz enabled, so just imagine if quartzExpress, coreimage and, OpenGL were enabled on this beast.
