I've recently built my hackintosh and I'm having trouble figuring out how to get 32-bit apps to run with more than 4GB RAM recognized by the OS. If I boot maxmem=8192, all 32-bit apps fail to start.
Also, I have to run Photoshop CS5 in 32-bit mode. If I run it in 64-bit, it crashes randomly when using certain actions and scripts.
System specs:
MB: ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/U
Proc: AMD Phenom II x6 1055T
Mem: 8GB OCZ
Video: Geforce 8400gs 512MB
HDD: 60GB OCZ SSD
Boot args: arch=i386 -force64 maxmem=4096 cpus=6 busratio=16
I used this guide ↗ to get the system running on 10.6.5
Any help on this is much appreciated...
