Eddie11c's Leo4Allv2 Leopard AMD/Intel 10.5.2 Issue Discussion - Page 3

Hmmm.......Funny that you say it's just a toy, because I've had Leopard running perfectly on my AMD machine since...wow...late October, early November....
QE / CI works,
Toast works
iLife works
iWork works
CS3 works
vmware Fusion works (i have to have windows to be able to connect to my work's VPN.)
I have installed ALL updates. (just need to have Marvin's Utility handy.)
Everything I have installed works. No issues, no problems.

[cite] Snow:[/cite]Funny stuff actualy. I see releases coming from everywhere for AMD yet all I read about are non working systems. Crashing, mouse movement bugs and what not.
I'm now at full default settings for my CPU and RAM and if I still experience the same issues then there isnt one single release working properly nor is there ever going to be one, for AMD that is.
I still wonder what the purpose is of these releases. Look at the desktop or working with the OS. To me, it seems OSX86 on AMD is more like a toy and on Intel it's serious business. Too bad though since currently I cannot afford an Intel or real Mac.
Anyway, I'll hold my nagging for later, when it does turn out to be everything else but my system.

On the good side (if there isnt even one in my case) Eddie's release has been the best for me.

Alright, I'll leave my system running overnight this time with Lightroom, Photoshop and others running and hopefully the apps wont crash this time.

Sorry again for my frustration and take care lads.

I hope your comments don't make any one angry.
I don't know if osx on amd is a toy but it's certainly not the same as running it on intel, though i guess mac users might insist that running it on any pc isn't the same as on a mac.

I converted to intel and I'm not the only one.
As for affordability, processor £44 new with heatsink, mobo I paid £65 but you could get something compatable new for £50 and a lot cheaper of the bay, 2gig ram £35
So you could do it new for £130 and I'm sure if you shop around ebay you could knock a chunck of that, add to that whatever you can sell your amd for!
Just a thought.

Hi Lanxxx,

You're the one I was looking for actualy. I already pm'd Roisoft and Winlinmac for details.

Could you tell me what Timings and other settingds you are (were) running? As I said I'm running all default atm and will let the system run for a day. But I wanted to know from you guys if you are running overclocked, 1T or 2T for instance.
At default my RAM runs at 2T but I've always ran it at 1T without issues (in Windows)
As for people getting angry here. I've got plenty of respect for those who provide releases cause they make it possible for us to even try it out. I've thanked people enough for this.
Let me ask you this though. What does OSX stand for? To me, stability, so the way OSX runs now, is Windows in other clothing, even worse cause Vista is more stable then XP.
You, Roisoft,WinLinmac and Agrafuese seem to be peeps who really push the OS to its limits so if you guys tell me I'm full of it then I will rest my case.
Thx for the thought bud

@timdsmith72: I really, really find that hard to believe lad. What do you do inside the OS? I don't even have the ability to work in PS, Lightroom or Logic without getting into issues. I have been running OSX since JAS 10.4.8. You won't get into trouble doing 2 hour sessions m8 but leave the PC running for a while and then try to continue work.

Alright, I said whats on my mind so enough nagging from my end, please stop quoting my post though cause that builds tension up. I'm sure Eddie and Zeph will read it in their own time. I just wish they stopped building new releases and try to help those who had stick with them from the start.

Take care amigos

@Snow: Sorry, I can't confirm what you are saying.

My AMD Mac OSX86 System is my primary, and only operating system which I use since January 4th - the release of Zephyroth's 10.5.1 Rev1 Disk & the birth of this forum. I never use or used any other Operating Systems, because there aren't any problems to worry about, everything is working perfectly. If a new software update appears, one indeed has to install it manually, but guess what, I love the hacking part :-)

Some Systems work almost out of the box with small fixing required, and some simply do not work, you have to understand.

Snow · #25 04-09-2008, 09:41 PM

Hi Puttabong, I'm sorry for the bashing or bad commercial bud. It's hard to understand but I'll have to take your word for it. Its so frustrated in the way that it works flawlesly in the beginning, probably because I have about the same gear as Zeph and Eddie. Then after some work issues occur.
I'll hold my comments on this matter cause I can't be bothered to get into issues on this board too

I'm happy for you though that you got a fully stable and reliable system, I wish I could say the same. I have to stop doing photography and audio work because of this.

Later m8

Hiya snow I tried every memory setting under the sun, basically the slower you run it the more stable, but the only thing that really worked was the idlehalt thing. Though big problem with that was the heat.
That was the final straw for me I'd already bought another lan card and an external sound card.
Lucky for me sound card went on ebay for more than I paid for it lol.
Anyone want a nearly new realtek 8169 works great on osx lol.

@Snow

Sorry man but my daughter is in the hospital and I cann´t to be here all the time i´d wish...like puttabong is saying my amd systems are very stable with or without overclock, maybe we are lucky.... i´ll send u all the data (ASAP) via P.M.

timdsmith72 · #28 04-09-2008, 11:22 PM

Hate to break it to you man, but I use it for everything. It's my main machine. I can run PS just fine. Lightroom I don't use.
I use iWeb all the time. PS all the time. Flash, iphoto, visualhub, Toast...There is a large number of apps that I use on either a daily or weekly basis. Including running windows XP inside VMware Fusion when I need to connect to work VPN.
Right now when I do an uptime on my system, it shows this:

Leopard:~ timdsmith72$ uname -a
Darwin Leopard.local 9.2.2 Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.2: Tue Mar 4 21:17:34 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.4.31~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
Leopard:~ timdsmith72$ uptime
13:18 up 3 days, 1:38, 4 users, load averages: 0.07 0.12 0.07
Leopard:~ timdsmith72$

The only reason I rebooted 3 days ago was because I installed that latest Security Update plus the other updates that came out about that time. (then patched with Marvin's of course.) Before that, the uptime was 29 days. So, find it hard to believe or not, I use that machine for EVERYTHING. :-)) The only windows box left in the house is the virtual machine. And I ONLY use that for work. (And it still runs on my Hack. :-) )

I just came back and noticed an iTunes crash. So this is running all at default. I haven't tried going into my other apps yet so there could be more crashing up ahead.
What I did was open up Photoshop, Lightroom, Mail, Safari, Adium and then let a Lynda tutorial movie run over night on iTunes.

@Timdmsith, do you keep your apps open? if not, let them stay open for a long period of time for testing. Leave PC and come back later to continue work in an app. And thx for all the info.

Snow · #30 04-10-2008, 12:56 PM

@ Thx for the headsup bud.

@ Roisoft, hope your kid is ok man. Take care!
