It is about SSSE3 not SSE3 support.
Only the following CPU are capable (SSSE3 + 64-Bit extensions):

• Lion Vanilla-Kernel compatible Intel
• AMD Bulldozer
• AMD Bobcat (mobile APUs / embedded CPUs, most likely graphics won't work)
• VIA Nano (atm not supported in the Kernel, but AnV has written methods for these, that could be added. I haven't considered this necessary - Lion on such feeble CPU would be no fun.)

Hello ,

I confess I do not understand anything, the FX is not based on data SSSE3 manufacturer AMD, and the FX work in 64 bit mode? Thank you explain to me please?

dunno where your information comes from, but the FX has SSSE3 support:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...icroprocessors

Where there's a will there's a way.
But that way will be a rocky road & I currenlty see noone to walk it.

To speak for myself I don't have any skills to write some simd emulation.

And even if there would be some other workaround for this - I don't have a platform to do testing on this.
I was playing with the thought of getting some Sempron 14* to try some stuff, but I don't want to waste 30 bucks on something with a bare possibility to work in the end...

64-Bit only Kernel Extensions require the X86_64 Kernel.
Having i386 Kernel with 64-Bit support enabled, won't work for this.

Currently I don't even have this working on the FX - all patched Kernel builds are i386 only.

Seriously?
If you could / would effort this, I'd do.

My main Workstation is equipt with an Intel Xeon E-1220 - so I can compare directly & the OS X work expierence is much better.

Altough the AMD-OSx86 thing is still fun to me.^^

Aha... but couldnt it be patched??? My athlon is getting to the point where OS X is waiting for root device... or at least cannot we boot at least in user 64 bit mode???(the fake one)??? cause my audio kexts work only in 64 bit and i canthave stable lion W/O them


And guys...just seeking an advice...should i go for this CPU http://shop.amd.com/us/All/Detail/Pr...RGUBOX#Details ??? Or should I spend 50 more euros and buy new mobo and inteli 3/5?

Is it possible to update from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7.4 on AMD?

Snow Leopard is 10.6.x and Lion is 10.7.x

I believe you can't update from one main version to another unless you reinstall over it, and if you don't erase the partition it should keep your files.

This thread has turned into a help thread.......

LION 10.7.4 running hot on GA-990FXA-UD3 with Phenom II X6 1100T, here is my how-to and other details for AMD Inntal

http://www.root86.org/showthread.php...4808#post54808

Any chance this is written in english somewhere? Even with Google Translate, I can't quite follow it.

...so still no 64bit app support on AMD Lion yet..

I'm starting to think anyone who knows how to work on this sort of thing has given up Still waiting to be able to run Lion on my main office computer (need FCPX, 64bit only) and I have no idea where to start or I'd work on it myself.

...anyone...??
