Hi guys,
I gave up on AMD cause I was fed up with putting all my time into getting a fully working AMD install. It was close to perfection but the crashes and patching after every major app install is not a fun way to use OSX. I've been with AMD OSX86 since JAS 10.4.8 so has been nice. AMD's arent dead yet mind you, my rig was flying in Vista and XP. Well OSX too for that matter but it was too unstable. I'm doing a lot of audio and photography work and can't afford to loose anything. This Intel system has to last me at least 5 years. I'm not playing any games anymore the last few months so 5 years will be easy to manage for audio and photography work. Respect to all who release AMD installs and make it possible for AMD users to try the OS too! It seems the magic fix for unstability issues on AMD's seems to be idlehalt=0 (I did not even try it) but be warned, it will raise your temps up to 10 degrees. Good luck and try to have fun, take care lads Snow Leopard 10.6.7 Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P Intel Q6600 @ 3Ghz Corsair CM2X2048-6400DHX Gigabyte HD5770 Silent Cell Samsung SyncMaster 2494SW ALC889a Creative T5400 5.1 Maxtor 380215AS Pioneer DVR-215D Presonus Inspire 1394 KRK Rokit 5 Wacom Bamboo One SL USB Guide => http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide...k-drive-t3705/ |

Hi Snow, I'm sorry that you made this kind of experiences.
As I mentioned before, some systems work perfectly, and some just don't, there's not a lot one can do about it. My AMD system doesn't need any application patching or idlehalt or whatever, it just works very solid. ;-) Ofcourse I see the point that software updates have to be patched and installed manually, but I can live with that. However, I see your point as well. I couldn't think about working with an unstable system either! I hope that OSx86 on an Intel System will be a better experience for you! |

I guess I was lucky. I've been running Macs since I got my first computer. As a project, I built my PC for Ubuntu and XP, based on price/speed. OSX86 was an afterthought. Everything worked with a little effort except the onboard ethernet, which I solved with an NIC. OSX86 has replaced my G5 as my main machine.
If I had thought about OSX86 when I bought the components for my PC, I probably would have bought an Intel. Rick |
