Grackle Probe accelerates Grackle based Macs that are using the Quartz Extreme PCI hack that's been mentioned recently. Grackle Probe could accelerate Grackle based Macs that have high-performance PCI cards, without needing to use the Quartz Extreme PCI hack or any undesirable side effects that QE has. It is not known what the compatibility or the side effects of enabling PCI Store Gathering is.
What's New
Version 1.4 adds the following:
- Version 1.4 is more reliable on OS X 10.2.0 now due to switching back to the GCC 3.1 compiler.
- Changed GrackleProbe so it is suitable for dropping into /Library/StartupItems.
- Now comes with grackletool. When GrackleProbe is loaded, executing grackletool will display a bunch of information about the Grackle chip.
- Grackletool will display the SDRAM CAS
