OSX freeze after installing official nVidia Fermi drivers

[edup]

Is this problem on all versions of Snow leo ? or just 10.6.6?

I've just been trying out a reference NVIDIA GTX 460 786 MB, and it seems that over the weekend there was no kernel panics. I left the computer on idle.

The configuration is 5.1 with AGPM.kext edit, scores about 27 in cinebench and 1800 in novabench.

How often do these freezes happen on average. Do they happen while idling or while doing something.

What's the AGPM.kext edit and how do I do it please? I will try anything at present!

The new update 10.6.7 solved all my GTS 450 freeze problems. I even enabled c1 and c-states + p-states with the Anval boot loader. Everything works great so far. No random freezes, no KP.

YAY!

Btw, I run SLI GTS 450 and it works great.

Works?

Works?

The same drivers are in this package- it's just that NVIDIA has to keep changing it's distribution file for the latest OS version so that it works, ie. 10.6.7. We've removed the restriction in the tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update. Only difference.

The drivers are the same old ones:

How many freezes were you getting per day before you updated to 10.6.7?

Dont know man, but it was pretty annoying. Sometimes my hackintosh would run for 1-2 hours, sometimes just 15 mins. But now its runing for 10 hours without problems. Before i had c1 and c-state disabled in bios, now those are enabled and i added :

<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>

to com.Apple.Boot.plist

That's great news. Has anyone else had luck with this?
