SMow Leopard, OpenCL, SIS 3132 and ACER M5620
This week-end I have homework!
I installed Snow Leopard on my old MacBook Pro 15″ before selling it on Craigs List, and everything seems to run just fine, except the SIS 3132 driver: the ExpressCard eSATA! reports there
As SIS 3132 is the most used ExpressCard eSATA chip, it is really annoying to loose the ability to connect my hard drives in eSATA on the old MacBook Pro, but a real problem on my new MacBook Pro 17″! Hope thy will fix it!
I plan to install Snow Leopard on my MBP 17″ thereafter and test OpenCL development using XCode today, OpenCL is a real exciting technology for software developer, if GPU and CPU are BOTH supported!
On the other hand, Grand Central doesn’t excite me, it’s targeted at developers that dont want to learn how to launch thread, do atomic operations, and so on. Problem still be there but they will learn a proprietary way to deal with instead doing it the right way : the portable POSIX way!
And I have to check my ACER M5620 to report it’s distro, BIOS settings, full configuration and loaded kEXT.
A great week-end
