I've been running 10.5.2 r2 since it's release and i find that it's very slow. Applications are slow to respond, etc. I'm running this on the same machine I've run 10.4.8, 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 on. My system specs are AMD Athlon 64 4000+ running on a NF4SK8AA mobo w/ 1 gb of RAM , an WD 80gb IDE HD and a Pioneer 110 DVDR. I'm not sure what causes the performance hit but it is quite noticeable. Anyone have any ideas? BTW: The only thing extra i've installed is Diabolik's x1300 kext to get my ATi x1300 working w/ QE/CI.

hi there Lifeforce, is your M/B chipset sb600 ati 690g?.
Firewalk |
No. It's an nForce motherboard. It works fine under 10.4.8 and 10.4.10 (Tubgirl) releases. It actually worked nicely with 10.5.1. However, 10.5.2 seem a little slower. Less stable as well. I need to figure this out if I'm to stay with 10.5.2.

...and the million-dollar question:
are you getting any jerky mouse movements or GUI slowdowns? |
I was reading that thread. I didn't quite finish though. And, yes, I am seeing GUI slowdowns. Not so much jerky mouse movements. Though that's quite possible but I'm not noticing anything to be enough of a bother. I'm curious why this would show up in 10.5.2 and not in any of the other versions (not saying it wasn't in 10.5.1 but i certainly didn't notice it as I'm noticing it now).

mine is very slow as well and I do have a motherboard with the
Chipset North Bridge: AMD 690G South Bridge: AMD SB600 are there know issues with this? is there anything that can be done? btw, my mouse moves fine. |
Try the latest kernel: 9.2.2.0, drastic improvements made. :-)

Hi christuner, I have a ASUS SB600 690g board and had real problems with speed, upon checking in xbench my hard drive scores were real bad. to cure this download sb600_SATA_ATA.zip from this link http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=16213 and install using kext helper.. you should now have full hard drive speed..
hope this helps Firewalk P.S Zephyroth could you intergrate this into the next release please.. |
hey Firewalk, thanks for the help, that really speeds this sucker up!
and it would be great if zeph could put it in the next version! |
