I recently bought an Acer Aspire One ZG5, it's the version with a 16gb SSD and 1gb ram (which I upgraded to 1.5gb), it has a 1.6ghz atom processor, I installed snow leopard 10.6.3 by copying the retail dvd to a usb hard drive, replaced the mach_kernel with the patched kernel for the atom processor and installed chameleon 2 RC4, it booted to the usb fine, installed very slowly, took about 3 hours at least to install, once it was installed it took about 30 mins to install chameleon to the internal SSD. After restart it booted straight to snow leopard but it runs very slowly, it will work fine then stop, then work fine then stop, it takes forever to do anything, I tried to install netbookinstaller to see if it would fix the track pad not working, but now it won't boot, it gets to the apple logo then says the computer needs to be restarted, so I'm going to have to go back into the installer to use terminal to sort it out, but why is it so slow? Surely this can't be normal, it's not just annoyingly slow, it's un-useable slow. I thought with it having an SSD rather than HDD would mean it would be faster! Well after netbookinstaller stopped it booting I can't seem to get it to boot, I've been back into the installer to use terminal to copy my old files over and it still wouldn't boot, so I've started from scratch again, only this time the installer is going a LOT faster, it's only been going maybe 20 - 30 mins and it's already about 75% complete, compared to last time it took about an hour and a half to get this far! Its the exact same install package I used last time, on the same laptop hdd, only this time it's in a different external hdd case, maybe the adaptor in the last one was slow or faulty and caused something to break?

Here's hoping for a faster install this time! ![]() Acer Aspire One ZG5 Netbook Windows XP Drivers, Applications, Manuals| Notebook Drivers Posted on Mar 29, Right click the one you are looking to update click update then select have own disk or acer aspire one zg5 base system device will search yourself. I'll try checking speed step anyway once it's up and running again, I'm new to the mac scene, my brother has used them for years and swears by them, but he has a better job and can afford them! It's back up and running, speed step seems to be working, when plugged in I'm getting 1.6ghz, on battery about 800mhz, track pad works fine now, as does everything else. It's not as slow as it was before, but it still freezes from time to time, for example I'll be reading a website, click on the search bar, start typing, but it will only show the first letter or two, then the mouse pointer turns to the loading symbol, it freezes like that for maybe 10 seconds, then everything else I typed will appear. It's not just when I'm on the internet, it does the same thing with any program I'm using, or if I haven't got any programs running and I click on the toolbar, most of the time it doesn't open straight away, it usually takes a good while to open. I used DSDT patcher to make a new DSDT, it told me it had removed an IRQ, I moved it to my /extra folder, rebooted, still exactly the same. Acer Aspire One Zg5 ReviewAnything else I can try, or is this normal for an atom powered netbook? Well, I guess it's hard to make comparisons unless stating metrics doing similar tests.

Praecox loic download for mac. Only appreciable delays or spinners I see to get are on slow internet connections sometimes. Loading stuff like XCode is slow compared to MBP/C2D, Likewise, stuff like short freeze when scrolling through apps list from the bottom-bar apps folder icon, but have loads of apps including some big ones. Dock taking 50% processor gives a good indication of how much processing power is needed/used. So it's slow.but not annoyingly slow. Totally fine for day to day use. However, I get speed up to 1.6GHz even on batteries. Acer Aspire One Zg5 BatteryI think there may be a problem with the hardware, I'm thinking the SSD, I tried installing windows 7, which I know is supposed to run ok, it took forever to install, then when I went to the windows experiance index (performance rating) it got as far as checking the disk speed, took an absolute age doing the check, then said it failed because it took so long, and apart from that, it ran really slowly. I then used the system restart disks that came with it to completely format it and start over with windows XP, which also took ages to install, and it's so slow it's almost impossible to use. With it using a ZIF SSD I don't have anything laying around that I could try, I'm tempted to buy a cheap, small-ish ZIF HDD and try that to see if it is the SSD that's at fault. I bought it second hand and didn't really use it when I first got it, I only turned it on to make sure everything worked, only got as far as windows loading up, playing the startup tune, I tested the keyboard in the login box, I could see the cursor moved, so turned it off and went straight to the snow leopard install!
