CHUD on a dual processor MDD running Leopard (10.5.8)
I finally got around to installing CHUD today and am wondering if some of you folks who have used it for a while might have some easy answers to a few questions.
I first tried version 3.5.2. It installed, but I couldn't adjust any of the settings. I then read on japamac's site that some MDD's could use 4.4.4. I installed that version and it does work (In fact, I'm posting this with one processor tied behind my back). However, there does not seem to be an option for nap mode.
Also, after I toggle between single an dual processor mode a few times, performance in dual mode seems to take a big hit. A restart solves the problem, but I'm wondering if this is normal.
Is there any way to get nap mode to work in a dual cpu MDD running 10.5.8?
Is there any way to get it to stay in single CPU mode when it wakes from sleep?
I read through the discussions at xlr8yourmac before posting this. It appears that some people have been able to get nap mode to work under Leopard, but they are not always careful to mention exactly which version of Leopard and CHUD they are using.
Hi-
When installing CHUD, it is also necessary to run CHUD remover to deinstall previous installations.
If not deinstalled, odd stuff happens.
3.5.2 is the one for dual processors.
Other versions have mixed dual processor support.
This is one of the claims that 4.4.4 works, but I have lingering doubts

I may need to edit my blog page.....
It takes a script for automatic Nap enabling in a dual processor machine with 3.5.2.

Hello to all my readers.I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ? My current phone is a £10 Nokia and I've neither wish nor cash to spend more than a grand upgrading to an intel based machine (at the moment) ! Regards to you all.
If you can find an iPhone running iOS5 and those are the specs for iOS5, there is no reason it should not work.
If you want a more current version of iOS or a more current device, a Windows computer is always an option at significantly less cost.
Granted, there is no requirement to have a computer to use an iPhone. -
Can a Power Mac G5 2.7 dual processor be run as a single processor?
This is in relation to my last question that I may have mis-worded,
Can I run a dual core, dual processor, as a dual core, single processor, and if so, how do I do this?
This is the info on;
About this Mac:
Power Mac G5
Machine Model 7,3
CPU type Power Mac G5 - 3.1
Number of CPU's 2
CPU Speed 2.7
Any Help,
Thank you.Yes. (but yours is a dual processor, single core each processor)
It may be run as a single processor by disabling one processor.
While booted normally, in Utilities, open Terminal and enter the following:
$ sudo nvram boot-args="cpus=1"
To re-enable the 2nd cpu
$ sudo nvram boot-args="" -
Running Leopard On Ibook G4 14"
Hi all
I have a issue with running Leopard on my Ibook, it is a 1.42 GHZ and 1500 Mg of ram.
The problem that I am encountering is that the system is processing at full capacity 75-100% and I am not running anything in the background, why???
I have a G5 with dual processors and running Leopard, looking at the activity monitor on both machines, I can clearly see that there are several components running in the background on the Ibook and nothing on the G5, on the G5 when at idle it is using from 1- 10% CPU use, and when the Ibook is at idle it is all over the place, from 10- 100% but mostly in the high numbers.
Any answers I would appreciate.
PS" this is with a new installation on the Ibook, with Tiger I had none of these issues
Thanks
SigiHi. What are the processes using that amount of CPU? It could be that Finder is still indexing. Post back with a list of the 'runaway' processes.
Good luck,

Running dual processor on early Quicksilver board
I'm back to a Sawtooth because my 1ghz dual processor is panicking. Diagnostic in Tiger says the external cache is bad and I understand that I have to shut the cache off every time I boot by if I use CHUD to disable the L3 cache ( which I am very scared to do).
Because I'm more a MacButcher, I figure that running the dual processor on an earlier (733mhz) board which doesn't have the rom to enable the L3 cache might be a possible workaround. I'd then swap motherboards and run the dual limping a little on the earlier motherboard and slip the 733mhz processor in the later board and resell.
Does this all sound possible? What should I watch for? I realize the dual processor would run slower than intended, but it would be better than using the 500mhz Sawtooth and cheaper than buying a new processor.Hi
I could be wrong, but I thought the level 3 cache was only not recognised if you installed a Quicksilver processor card in a Sawtooth or Gigabit Ethernet logic board, as these originally came with G4 variants that didn't have any level 3 (just level 1 on the processor die and level 2 on the processor card). If the 733MHz logic board is from a Digital Audio or Quicksilver, I wouldn't be surprised if the level 3 cache was recognised, as these shipped with G4 variants that could support level 3 (regardless of whether Apple actually chose to provide the extra cache on some of the models). I'd be surprised if there were any boot ROM differences - I'd imagine it just says if there's level 3 cache available then use it. That way Apple could have one unified logic board/boot ROM and just drop in different processor cards with or without level 3 cache. There are some reports in the CPU Upgrades database at xlr8yourmac.com which seem to suggest a 733MHz Quicksilver can be upgraded with a card pulled from another QS and the level 3 will be recognised. -
Upgrading Single Processor MDD to Superdrive
A friend of mine wants to transfer the Superdrive from his dead dual processor MDD over into his still-kicking single processor 1.25 MDD which just has the combo drive. Does anyone know any conflicts, mechanical or system, which would prevent him from doing so?
Also, he would like to make the same transfer with the Nvidia GeoforceTi card, moving it from the DP MDD to the SP MDD to replace the (I think) Radeon card that it currently has. Any problem with either of these switch-outs?
Thanks!Hi, Stephen -
The swap of the Superdrive should be straight forward, plug and play.
The video card would seem to be okay, also - the three model series of the G4 (MDD) machines {the original, the FW800, and the 2003 ones} all had the GeForce4 Ti as a standard (extra cost) option. -
System disks for my power mac mdd g4 1.4 dual processor
i bought this power mac mdd g4 1.4 dual processor off from craigslist,no disks at all he didn't have them,so where can i get the installation disks?
Apple's Customer Service sometimes has OEM disk sets for older machines.
www.apple.com/contact/
Chances are slim, though, that they would have them for a machine that old.
You can find retail disk sets for older OS X versions at places like HarcoreMac, but their prices aren't cheap. EBay and CraigsList are other possibilities.
Your G4 MDD dual 1.42GHz machine is termed the "Power Mac G4 (FW800)" model by Apple. It originally came with OS X 10.2.3. It's max OS is OS X 10.5.8, the one apparently on it now.
Since the machine is running OS X 10.5.8, you should probably seek a retail OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) version. -
Just Got a Power Mac G4 Dual 500, will it run leopard?
Hi,
I just got a "new" power mac G4 system. Its a G4 Dual Processor 500 Mhz with 1 gig of RAM. I also got the matching 17" LCD apple studio display. I have it up and running nice with the latest version of tiger. I was wondering if its possible to run leopard on my machine. I want to keep tiger as my main OS, but i'd like to play with leopard on a second HD. Is this possible?
thanks,
-AllenI think the "other methods" involves hacks, or basically ways to get the software to do things (viz. install) it was not intended to do (and probably violating the license). There's a fine line here because I have seen discussions in other parts of the forums on how to get things to installed or run on computers on which they were not intended to be installed. I think since hacks directly and blatantly circumvent the intentions of the Leopard installer (versus having it install on an external drive under the auspices of a qualified Mac fully using the software under conditions and in a manner in which it was intended to be used) it is deemed on the wrong side of the line.

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card).
Things to note:
I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

I'm trying to set up a new Lacie Porsche 9220 external drive on a 1.25Gb Dual Processor G4 Mirrordrive running OS X 10.5.8.
I ran erase, formatting to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). But when I try to set up two partitions (Mac OS Extended Journaled for both) using Apple Partition Scheme, Disk Utility returns a fail as follows...
'Partition failed with the error: File system formatter failed'.

"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." The items were just some photos (Jpegs) for which there should not be any privilege issues.
Does this offer you enough to suggest any possibilities, perhaps?

I cannot install Leopard 10.5 onto my PowerMac G5 (dual processor)
I have a new retail full install DVD of Leopard 10.5 and cannot install it to my PowerMac G5 (dual processor). I bought a new disc, thinking it was the original. Nothing! I bought a new SATA 1tb hard drive... Nothing! I have reformatted until I can refomat no more. I have tried to "Safe Boot", holding down C, Option, Shift, etc... Can someone tell me what to do?
Hmmm, with the Leopard Install Disc in use Disk Utility to Verify the DVD, does that come out OK?
If so ...
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to install. -
I am looking to get a new computer to run my labVIEW app. It is a processor intensive data analysis / simulation program. I am curious as to how well labVIEW optimizes its code to run on dual processor machines? Will I have to add some thread control code
to get the full benefit?Hallo,
Normally just splitting your code into two parallel-executed loops would be enough for optimization for dual processor. If you have already available dual-processor computer, then try to make simple experiment: Put on your block diagram while-loop (without delay), then run it and looking for CPU usage. You will see, that only one processor occupied with 100% and second not (average CPU usage is 50%). Now put second while-loop (also without delay). Now both processors are busy with 100% (but both loops executed with approximately same speed). In most cases "two-loops" splitting of your analysing algorithm will be enough for increasing performance (not twice, of course, but significally). -

Replace powermac mdd single 1ghz processor with dual processor
I want to know if i can if put a dual 1.25 or 1.42 ghz processor in my single processor machine. will it work because what i understand is that i have the slower bus speed of 133 and the dual processor machines have 167. will that matter?
Aftermarket processor upgrades would have to be specific to the Mirrored Drive Doors model. The CPUs for earlier models will not work. So you would have to follow the recommendations of each manufacturer. Maybe someone who has added one can chime in with a recommendation. Otherwise, try:

Will Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 run Leopard?
I just bought a MacBook Pro and purchased Leopard (had to get the install disks since I bought the Macbook prior to Leopard release). I also have a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 and need to know if I can load and run Leopard on it? It currently has OS 10.3.9 and would like to get it up to speed and in sync with my MacBook if possible . . . but am still confused about everything I see on in discussions as to whether or not this is possible. Help!
RobinThe G4 can readily run Leopard. Here's the requirements:
