agent-squirrel Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hit f8 at the darwin loader and type cpus=1 then hit enter and see if that helps. It disables one of the cores on the core 2 duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant0ne Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Your ability to do Apple updates depends on if you're running PC EFI and a Vanilla Kernel. If you are, then yes, you SHOULD be able to use Apple Update. As far as booting with cpus=1, here is what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant0ne Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Vanilla kernel = unmodified stock Apple kernel. Check activity monitor, see if an application is causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Digg Effect Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 i checked and in the cpu column of activity monitor, all of the processes say 0.0 next to them and there is nothing using a lot of ram...but, there are a lot of processes using HUGE amounts of virtual memory... is this normal? EDIT: now the processes are showing the cpu usage next to them and the largest amount is 19.2 but, there are processes using GIGABYTES of virtual memory The huge amount of VRAM is normal. They just reserve that space, they don't actually use it. It is not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swither Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 i have a similar problem, but is the os slow or just the refresh rate of the graphic interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swither Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 i dont know which one... i cant tellanyway, its weird... when i move the mouse quickly while some thing is happening (for example when a window is closing) it speeds up somewhat also, when i first installed it, the welcome video would go extremely slowly unless i kept moving the mouse (then it would speed up a little bit) sounds very much like the problem i'm having with my 7800 card. when i remove my nvidia drivers it runs smoothly but at super low resolution and so on. I very low cpu and memory load so i'ts not that and system profiler says i have QE and CI support... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
