Some people are just lucky, their old MoBos can settle with an upgrade to Bulldozer. Mine, despite being AM3, would not accept it. It's a sin. So i'm at the same boat as you, running Lion 10.7.4 on an outdated Athlon II X2 250 CPU. Anyway, even a 32-bit OSX grants me more computational joy than Win 7 ever gave me.  |
Okay, now where exactly do I type this boot command in so I don't have to type a long boot command each time I want to run Mac?

My Text edit is broken, it won't work for whatever reason. A beachball loads constantly and it never loads up the text. I'm using a Mac text program called JE edit? Is that fine? Where exactly do I type -legacy busratio=17 UsekernelCache=No npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes at? Does it go in one of those lines? Thanks! I didn't understand where you said I was suppose to post them last time. Also, when text editor was working it wouldn't let me overwrite the file before. I don't know why, and I have no idea why texteditor is not working anymore. Tho, JE text editor should work just as good no?
Thanks for all your help, I know I can be a pain in the butt but I think that command that other guy gils gave me might be the exact command I need. Tho, will that command work if I update to 10.7.3? And I asked earlier is that if I did update to 10.7.3 would all I have to do is replace the kernel and dock again or would I have to do something so much more? Also, is there a point to update to 10.7.3? Is it more stable or just safer to be on a higher number?
