Can i install it on my hackintosh ? I cannot lost my system.

Anyone has tried to install it on a hachintosh ?

i´m running JAS 10.4.7 on a intel x86 , intel mb, gma900

has anyone noticed rosetta improvements??

No, you cannot install it on you iHack yet. There are certain key files in the update that need to be patched before it will work with your system. Give it some time, it will happen.

Has anyone tried this with R2D2.kext loaded I wonder...?

Yay, I was right:

Dang!

Note: You must first update to Mac OS X 10.4.8 before installing Aperture 1.5

Hey,

After I installed 10.4.8 on my MacBook I can't boot it up!?!?!?! I do have BootCamp and when I boot up it skips the OS X partition and goes to Windows. When you hold the Option key and select Macintosh HD it gives me a folder with a question mark. Any ideas? Man I really need my notebook tonight! Don't know what is going wrong.

yah, has anyone trie with r2d2 i cant as my internet is {censored}, but i'll try tonite

Looks like the troubles are beggining

updates getting bigger its 211mb for intel

I'll install this on my wife's iMac when I get home. Hopefully the rumors of faster Rosetta are true.

Anyone else with a sucessfull update of this? I have several Macs to update, but can't test because of the importance of the files I have stored.

And for the one with the f***ed MacBook... try booting off your Mac OSX Install disk and running First Aid via Disk Utility... it probably won't do much but might be the key

Just as an FYI, the PPC update is only 30 MB. Are there truly that many things that need fixed on an Intel system that just doesn't need it on PPC?

The rosetta stuff someone said before maybe? If it's that big...

just installed.

update seems to have enhanced my xbench scores, notably opengl and user interface.

i cant remember if i have beamsync on or off, but even with it off my scores have never been this high.

i havent run xbench in a while tho, so correct me if i am wrong

JaS - Do Intel Users need to worry about CPUID Checks? From looking at the Update Pack, one could use Pacifist to install everything but the following files?

1. mach_kernel

2. loginwindow.app

Also backup the extensions folder.

hmm.. @nonny moose. my intel update is 211 mb

Yo!

What about the Quicktime components in the update. Any impact here (SSE2)?

Things seem a little snappier on my end.

On my C2D iMac, Microsoft Word FLIES in Rosetta now... other than a slow startup it's tough to tell it's non native. It's faster than my Macbook, so my theory is that Apple threw in some Rosetta improvements for C2D that they didn't have before.
