Davinchy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I have a tyan 5396 mobo and I had problems with my audio too. I went through every possible kext and finally figured out I needed to erase the original apple kext to get the new kext to work. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perimbean Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi! I've got a question to ask. Has anyone been to update your 8-core workstaion to say 10.5.3 or even the latest 10.5.5 update? I'm curious to find out. Thanks! perimbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneezymarble Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 That Geekbench score seems very low for your system. I get that with my system in the 32bit benchmarks and in the 64bit benchmark I get just over 8000. Granted, the clocks on my Q6600 are over a GHz higher than yours but I just thought Geekbench was more sensitive to multiple cores than that. At least, it seems to be with genuine Mac Pros. Anyone have any thoughts about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g4sho Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hey what does anyone think could be the problem? After looking at my scores what suggestions would you have me try? g4sho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka-none Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yeap nice piece of work. If you already have this setup. If not then you can get a mac pro from apple with the 8800GT card and buy the rest from elsewhere. The 4 RAID drives are about $80 from newegg highpoint makes a 4 drive RAID card for $169 2GB ECC Buffered memory is $40 stick at newegg $2900 for the macpro $ 320 for the drives $ 169 for the RAID controller $ 160 for 8GB RAM = 10GB total RAM $3549 for a real mac pro with 10GB RAM, 8800GT, 1.6TB RAID 5 pocket the other $1300 or throw away the 2x1GB of RAM from apple and add another $160 and end up with 16GB RAM for a total of less than $3800 and pocket the $1000 oh and get a warranty ;-) On the high end I don't see any savings of money, cool to do but if your starting from scratch you might as well get the MAC. I see the $$ savings in the midrange and maybe a few $$ at the low end. my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castortroy2008 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 After almost 8 months of no audio (used cheap usb audio key) for my dell inspiron because I was to lazy to figure out to install a kext you made it easy for me to get it working.

tronax Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have a similar build I used to run 10.5 on that I'm trying to do a clean install of 10.6.x on, but I'm having some trouble getting it to boot... Can you give me any tips as to what you did to get it to work? Right now I'm hanging at the ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) message.... Thanks!

UncleRawkus Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hey guys i need help finishing off my build i'm kinda of a noob to this. So i bought thesse parts like 2 years ago and never finshed bulding. 1 x Tyan Tempest i5000XT (S2696) S2696WA2NRF 2 x intel xeon quad core 2.66ghz clovertown 8mb processors 8 x ADATA 2GB 240P PC2-5300 CL5 18C 128X8 FULLY BUFFERED ECC DDR2-667 FBDI 1x antec P190 1x NZXT Sentry LXE so i finally have some time to do it but i don't know what would be the best set up for me as far as hard drive and raid. i want to run leopard and xp on separate partisions and have 4 tb scratch drive raid that i'll be able to see in both os's. what do you guys think would be the best hard drive setup? Also my primary use is going to be for audio would the built in video card be sufficient? of should i get the one that's recommended in the wiki the "GeForce 8800GT 512MB"? also what would be a compatible firewire 800 card? thanks i would really appreciate some input.

tronax Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Please any help on this? I'm running the S2696 with the same CPU. Don't know if you found your answer, but look around the forums.... Lots of Nvidia cards work, you don't have to get the 8800GT - if you want to save some bucks get a lower one. (in this particular rig I have an 8800GT with 256MB, works great) For a FW 800 card, I'm using one from SIIG with 3 ports: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...0-151-_-Product Good luck!
