Hi from Spain

<< < (2/3) > >>

aBc:
Which exact version of Cinebench did you use / run? So that I might run the same version on my stock 1.25 GHZ DP MDD later today or tonight - AND also review my installed extensions too, for comparison.

AND are you running OS 9 / OS 9.2 from an HDD, SSD, or etc.?

Likely that your results may differ anyway, as you're using OS 9 "copied" from a PowerBook?
We shall see.

I recently ran Cinebench 2000 on a 1.5GHz G4 Mac mini here as Cinebench 2003 didn't seem to want to run.

ivimail:
I'm using Cinebench 2000 and 2023 with OS 9.2.2 and in both cases the "Rendering xCPU" is disabled.

I just attached the screenshots because I'm writing this from Classilla and I don't have available the rich editor.

I think this is one of the problems I'm getting with this version of OS9 because I don't know what rom version I should have, I tried with another (I don't remember) and OS9 won't boot.

aBc:
Probably time to reinstall OS 9.2.2 for the MDD - instead of that PowerBook OS you have. AND any further posts in this vein, perhaps time to begin a new topic elsewhere? (Most likely under “Software” should you wish to continue after this post.)

Und yes, this MDD does have a “Multiprocessing” folder which contains “Apple CPU Plugins” within the Extensions folder. Which you likely don’t have with the “copy & paste” Powerbook config.

       

I ran both Cinebench 2000 and 2003 and will attach screenshots below.

This MDD here is kept pretty much stock… using an old spinning HD and likely the original ATI Radeon 64 MB video card - so don’t really expect to be all that impressed with the results. BUT it did run Cinebench 2003, so I may go back and test again with the 1.5 GHz mini (for another project here in progress). So, thanks for that. [It just seemed to freeze or just stop with the mini, when it actually does take much more time to completely test.]

And again, begin a new topic perhaps under “Software” after this post to continue. Thanks. :)

Yes, I was thinking about this.

Can you tell me what is the correct image for this MDD and how can I get it working in spanish?

Protools5LEGuy:
Bienvenido.

No lo instales en español por que hay muchas cosas de plugs y DAWs que no van si no instalas el americano por ejemplo. Protools 5 creo que hacia cosas raras si lo instalabas en español. Yo no lo recomiendo, a no ser que tengas mucho equipo de impresion/Scanner SCSI y necesites ñ por cojones. Aqui casi todos pasamos por la version con la ultima Apple Rom y extensiones que cocinaron DieHard y Mactron. Tambien hay una version que sirve para G4 con firewire 800 y otra para Mac Minis. Aunque yo flipo con el Instant DAW que preparo DieHard con cientos de plugs autorizados que se restaura con SSD (e incluso HDD) en minutos y sobre eso (Horas y horas de instalacion manual si no lo usas) instalo Logic y Protools, por que la imagen esta preparada par G4+M-Audio AP2496+Cubase. Tienes un sistemazo en minutos en vez de dias.

Si eres Protoolero sobre eso se instalan colecciones de usuarios. Yo monte la mia para LE y otros usuarios han cocinado otra para TDM tanto protools 4 como 5.

Segun el guru MacTron, Finder apenas esta preparado para doble procesador y yo opino que Finder es casi igual con un G3 que con un G4.

MacTron recomienda procesadores mononucleo de Xserve G4 en MDDs. Con el 1.42 o 1.33 ha llegado cerca de los 2 GHz.

Tambien es importante que DAW o que software vas a usar, por que muchos apenas soportan el doble nucleo. Protools pasa de los dobles procesadores hasta Protools 7 que es de Mac OS Tiger. Logic 4 y 5 y 6 aprovechan Altivec (G4) y doble procesador. CuBase no lo se. Alguno de video que recomendaba Mactron con G4 hacia edicion de video al vuelo y no era Final Cut Pro ni Premiere. Quicktime va mejor en doble procesador el MPEG decoder si no recuerdo mal. Busca un post de MacTron, nuestro gallego favorito sobre Altivec y doble procesador que no tiene desperdicio.
