I've installed almost all the updates - the only one i dhaven't is security update -ithink it will ruin my system because of sse2 only proc.

Please help ppl!

Field Note #1 @bhast2 2008-03-26

take a look here to fix your toast and it may fix the others
osx.kb ot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=842&page=1#Item_3

and for wow read this
it's easy to fix

get Marvin's AMD Utility and select "Create patcher package"

and let it scan /Library/Frameworks

it will create a folder on your desktop

afterwards select patch all cpuid's using cpuid file

and again select the folder /Library/Frameworks

and point to the cpuid file it created in the folder on your desktop

and voila, all games will now work on AMD Leopard 10.5.2

enjoy!

have you been able to fix your issues?

I have sevaral problems as well on sse2 and ordered sse3 proc on ebay yesterday.

Would be interesting if you have managed it with your proc.
I'll tell you if sse3 did it for me, hope it will be here the next days.
Maybe you could also try to update, i bought a new amd64 venice now, there are still some around for a little money.
bye,

Field Note #3 @bhast2 2008-03-27

i figured out what was wrong with toast 9 in my system
i have (had) 4GB of ram
3 of them are 667 and one was 533 at 4-4-4
as soon as i took out the 533 stick my system came to life
and runs fast than before
i know that isn't your problem but i thought i would share

You've got the same motherboard as me, I also recently upgraded to SSE3

I bought an 4200 X2 939 off ebay. It works pretty well if you boot with IDLEHALT=0 to avoid the random glitches caused by the dual core. My system xbenches at around 120 with this processor.

Field Note #5 @Puttabong 2008-04-08

I use a Athlon 64 X2 4200+ on a 939 Socket as well, and it works fine.
