iirc the system profiler does not correctly report the Bus Speed correctly. It states mine as being 200Mhz when in fact it should be 2Ghz (2 x 1000Mhz).
edit: Maybe I am wrong about the Bus Speed reading - I'm probably getting confused with the HT speed. :\ http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/cpu/a...0/cpu-3014.png |
No, the update from 10.5.1 -> 10.5.3 was not working. I have always errors on loginwindow, atsserver and mds.

22 hours of up time using CPUS=1 boot flag and my machine is still rock solid. I've spent some time in Photoshop creating artwork and applying filters with no visible sign of performance degradation.
Any Leo4All users experiencing this bug or is it just those of us using Zeph? For now I can live with one core @3Ghz (though not ideal) until either A) I install Leo4All or B) my Intel kit arrives. |
Can you reduce the CPU clock speed in the BIOS? As I o'clocked my system to 3.06 GHz (on 10.5.2) it crashed, couldn't boot anymore. On 10.5.3 I can't have to stay beneath 3 GHz. The actual Macs also only have 3.06 Ghz max, could the high cpu speed be the problem?

@naquaada: I'll take a look at my bios settings in due course, but I first want to test this machine thoroughly before rebooting. So far it has been up for over 24 hours and I've hammered it without so much as a hitch. It's definitely a Dual Core problem as far as I am concerned.
|
It has to be, before I upgraded my A64 3200+ to my Opteron 165 x2 I didn't have this problem.

I've been speaking with JaS about this and he's convinced that this is a TSC timing issue. He's kindly going to find out about getting a patch to fix the timing issue. I'll keep you all posted.

That's really good news! Rogue, after reading that pdf you linked, this would also explain those strange time correction entries in the console when running both cores. eg.
3/18/08 8:41:32 AM mDNSResponder[17] mDNSPlatformRawTime went backwards by 4 ticks; setting correction factor to 206737245 |
Vony1x: You also have a Socket AM2 board I presume. Could this be a problem, maybe because of the DDR2 RAM? Puttabong and me have Socket 939 and it's working fine here. Have you disabled Cool'n'Quiet in the BIOS? I have it enabled.

nope socket 939... Cool'n'Quiet not sure if i have an option for that, i'll have a look
