Try installing it on a separate disc - you might have to go back.

I've ran some XBench 1.1.3 comparisons between 10.3.3 and 10.3.4 on my iMac DV 400 and came up with some interesting results. Namely, the floating point basic test seem to be approximately 30% slower on the new OS while all the other CPU benches are a little faster (5% or so). Also, the random disk tests are down about 30% across the board while sequential tests remain about the same. OpenGL seems to be down a bit too but I'm not sure whether its significant or not. Ran both tests twice on each OS to make sure that everything was cached up. Other variables: Norton File Saver installed but not enabled, journaling off, 576mb RAM, 7200 RPM 40 gig drive (not stock 10gig).

Lots of wierd little things that affect me.

Plus apple seems to have broken something in opengl which they keep on breaking...

Yes - I have some bad problems after upgrade to 10.3.4. Will try to re-install previous Panther - but Cayalyst shoud address this problem with an upgrade.

apple seems to have broken something in opengl for which there may be no workaround....

what kindof system are you using?

[dannyb]

Yes folks it will break your Catalyst server!!! Do not do the upgrade on any active servers!

I am having to do a complete re-install of the OS to continue using Cat 3.2 f28. Luckily I only have 3 servers and 2 sets of install disks.

i dont have g5 available till i get home on monday.

ill try and get a fix out asap- if i can find one.

I got all of my servers back up and running today within an hour and a half. Not a big deal. I just downloaded the Combined 10.3.3 update and the QuickTime 6.5.1 update from Apple's support site. I loaded these onto my iPod and loaded the rest from a Restore DVD. Quite a simple procedure.

so you reinstalled 10.3?
Then updated with the combo installer for 10.3.3
