Excellent article by Ian Cutress of AnandTech on memory speeds http://anandtech.feedsportal.com/c/34653/f/635203/s/24a086f0/l/0L0Sanandtech0N0Cshow0C63720Cmemory0Eperformance0E16gb0Eddr313330Eto0Eddr3240A0A0Eon0Eivy0Ebridge0Eigp0Ewith0Egskill/story01.htm

Unfortunately, not for me. Still 10,500 vs 8,500 before/after sleep :banghead: Must be the antique (1 yr old) unsupported system I'm running. ;) More interest in the new CPUs...

Awesome! Could you please share any tips on how you did it?

No better with Lion (10.7) :problem: Boot, run Geekbench64, sleep for 10 seconds, wake and rerun Geekbench64 :wtf: Before and after sleep Lion.png

Not trying to derail your excellent topic, but I've been interested in this for other reasons. I would never have guessed that you'd improve performance doing this, but it sounds fascinating. My aim was to underclock to run the cpu slowly for power saving / heat reasons. Most of what I do...

Two SSDs with 10.6.8 installed using SATA II 3Gb/s: OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSD: Capacity: 120.03 GB (120,034,123,776 bytes) Model: OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSD Revision: 320A13F0 Serial Number: MXE12010E39A6601 Native Command Queuing: Yes Queue Depth: 32...

Still the same with 10.6.8...

Not sure if it's worth a 20% reduction in performance on awakening: :wtf: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7763&start=0 unless you want to reboot after waking every time?

As Lion (10.7) will be out in July, I suspect you'll see 10.6.8 before the end of June.

Update: With 10.6.7 Geekbench 64 scores repeatably go from 10680 to 8200 after a brief 10 second sleep. WTF?

Perhaps I missed an update in another thread about this, but has anyone found a solution?

Try reseating your CPU cooler. I know it sounds weird, but if it's not seated properly, the CPU overheats in a few seconds and automatically shuts itself down so as not to melt. I saw you said you reseated the CPU. Are you sure you have the hold down clips correctly in place to hold the cooler...

Yes. 1) I bought the 11" MacBook Air (maxed out) and LOVE it. :D You can see from the sig below that my Hack will technically run GeekBench rings around the Air, but the Air is SO much faster in every way for the things I do daily. Agreed, it won't do heavy cpu or graphics lifting tasks...

The only thing that my Apple Macs can do that my hack cannot is install the 10.6.7 Lion pre-release candidate. Damn shame too as I was hoping to possibly see GTX580 support in Lion

Good news on the PSU and very nice cooler suggestion. Amazing how low profile that is. Thanks again to both of you. :thumbup:
