Merom / Conroe upgrade path for Intel iMac?

Has anything been released about a processor upgrade path (if possible) to take the Early 2006 IiMacs from the Yonah CPU family to Merom or Conroe?
I'm still steamed to be stuck with a 32-bit CPU (even though it is a good one, funny how that fact is still judiciously left out of all promotional materials) and wondered if I will be left high and dry in 2-3 months when the 64-bit Core 2 Duo chips ship.
It would be nice if there were an upgrade path to bring the early adopter faithful into the 64-bit realm. Anyone heard a mighty rumblin' ?

People have successfully removed the CPU and replaced it. And, the new chips are supposed to be compatible with any Yonah based system.
So, while there is no official upgrade path, it should not be a problem installing a new CPU in the machine later.
Obviously, the heat of the new chips will be a consideration. They may be hotter, they may not be.
And, it will obviously void your warranty.
But, it should be possible.

  • Recommended upgrade path for 9.0.2.0.1

    Hi,
    Could you please help me in finding the recommended upgrade path for Oracle Application Server 9.0.2.0.1?
    What would be the sequence of upgrade and can we install in the existing oracle homes?
    The current scenario is given below:
    Host #1 - Infrastructure Installation with OID database (9.0.2.0.1)
    - Seperate portal database with portal schema
    Host #2 - Middle tier installation (9.0.2.0.1)
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sindhiya V.

    If you are upgrading to 10.1.2, the upgrade process is automated and the error reporting is very good (in case you run into any issues). Please check the Upgrade and Compatibility Guide available at
    (For Windows - http://iasdocs/iasdl/1012win_doc/upgrade.1012/upgrade/toc.htm
    (Oracle® Application Server Upgrade and Compatibility Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Microsoft Windows )
    and For Unix - http://iasdocs/iasdl/1012sol_doc/upgrade.1012/upgrade/toc.htm).
    (Oracle® Application Server Upgrade and Compatibility Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for UNIX )
    (there should be the same doc available on OTN, so search by the doc name)
    The upgrade of AS to 10.1.2 has gone through complete QA cycle and is a robust and easy process.
    If you are upgrading to 10.1.3.x, then it's a different process; since there are lots of significant new features in 10.1.3. You will need to install the new Application Server and deploy your application.
    Note, for database access, Oralce has re-implemented the dataso urce in 10.1.3.x releases. so for the config file data-sources.xml, it's automatically converted to the new format file underneath. So your existing data-sources.xml should work. But you could use admin.jar command to convert the file manually as well. please check service guide data source chapter.

  • Upgrade path for iMac 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo from OSX 10.5.8 to mountain lion

    Hi,
    I have an Apple iMac 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gbytes of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    It is currently running MAC OSX 10.5.8 --
    I would like to know the proper upgrade path to the most current version of OSX which is
    compatible with this hardware.
    Thanks!

    The starting point is to call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask to purchase a copy of Mac OS 10.6 "Snow Leopard." It will cost about US$20 plus shipping. When you receive it, install it and use Software update to get to OS10.6.8; the updates are free to that point.
    Now you will have the App Store app in your Dock. You can use that to purchase Mac OS 10.8 "Mountain Lion," the lastest. According to the MacTracker database, your iMac--which is either a Mid-2007 or Early 2008--can support 10.8.
    CAVEATS:
    • your iMac is at or near the minimum level to suport 10.8; performance may not be stellar
    • if you currently run any old PowerPC apps (like Office 2004), they will still work unders 10.6 but no higher. You will have to upgrade to newer versions to continue using them. Office 2008 runs on either PPC or the newer Intel Macs. Office 2011 runs only on Intel Macs.

  • RAM cards for Intel iMac 2.8Ghz versus 2.8Ghz Extreme

    Hi everyone,
    I've just bought 4GB of RAM from Crucial to upgrade my year old iMac. Once I had placed my order I noticed that they recommended different cards for the machines with Intel 2.8GHz and 2.8GHz Extreme chips. I don't know what the difference in the memory is but they must have been different somehow as one was about $20 more expensive.
    Anyway, I bought the ones for the 2.8GHz Extreme as thats what I thought I had (that's what I paid for anyway!) but I've just checked in System Profiler and there is no mention of my processor being 'Extreme' or in fact anything other than an Intel Core 2 Duo with a speed of 2.8GHz.
    So my questions are:
    a) Have I been ripped off by Apple and my machine isn't 'Extreme' at all - how can I tell?
    b) Will the RAM I bought work on my machine whatever one it is? The RAM is certainly the correct type, i.e. number of pins etc.
    Thanks for anyone that can help. If you have one of the 2.8GHz Extreme machines from last August, could you have a look in your system profiler and see if it mentions it being extreme?
    Thanks again,
    Neil

    This is very easy, if you purchased your machine prior to April 2008 it is either the 2.4 or 2.8 machine. To find out for sure which one, go to the System Profiler and look under hardware you will see something very similar to this:
    *Hardware Overview:*
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac7,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
    SMC Version: 1.21f4
    Serial Number: XXXXXXXX
    This is from my machine I ommitted the serial number. An even more simple way to find out is to look at the box it was shipped in, I'm assuming it is NOT a refurb model as they ship in plain brown boxes.
    If you purchased your machine after April 2008 it is a little more difficult but still pretty easy. Your System Profiler will be very similar but the Bus Speed will be 1066 MHz.
    The memory specification for all the mid 2007 Aluminum iMacs is the same. Use:
    667 MHz, PC2-5300, DDR2 compliant (also referred to as DDR2 667) popular brands are Crucial, Kingston, OWC, etc.
    If it is a early 2008 (Bus Speed 1066MHz MHz) then you will need the PC2-6400 memory chips, again all the early 2008 Aluminium iMacs use the same memory chips.

  • Using an imac G3 as second monitor for intel imac

    I just purchased a 20 inch intel imac and was curious if I could use my old imac G3 as the second monitor.
    I already have the DVI to VGA adapter to use in the mini DVI port on the intel imac. Is there an adapter that I can use to plug this cable into the VGA out on the back of my old G3 imac?
    intel duo imac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The VGA port on your old iMac is output, not input,
    so what you are suggesting wouldn't work.
    To do it, you'd have to take apart the G3 and hack a
    connection from the gfx card to the display to
    work... probably more trouble than it's worth, given
    the quality & res of the old g3 displays.
    Thanks for the quick response. Looks like I will have to pick up a second monitor.

  • Hi, I currently have Lightroom 5.6 for MAC and Adobe has launched Lightroom 6 - I am trying to understand if there is an upgrade path for 5.6 users and how much does it cost, if any or is a forklift upgrade i.e. new software all together.  Thanks

    Hi, I am a Lightroom user and currently have 5.6 version (DVD Version).  The lightroom 6 version, for existing lightrrom users, is there an upgrade path or it is a new software entirely.  In either cases, what costs are associated.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    LR 6 is a new payfor upgrade, $80 in the US if you have the serial-number-licensed LR 5.  If you're already using the CC version of LR+PS then it just comes along as a new app you can install.
    It’ll run alongside your LR5 so you can try it out and see if it’s something you want.
    The only trial is a LR-6-CC version that you can convert to a serial-number-licensed version if you buy a serial-number.  I think the download in LR 5 when it notifies you of an upgrade is what you can use to try it, although I don’t have personal experience with that seeing as I have the CC version of LR+PS so the CC App provided the Install button for me.
    The main issues people are having are for some system configurations performance is worse.  Adobe rewrote it to use the GPU in the Develop module but some people’s video cards aren’t up  to the task, and for some people even turning off the GPU, while speeding things up, doesn’t make it as fast as LR 5.
    On my system it seems to work great.

  • Upgrade Path for migrating Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1??

    Can any one tell me the upgrade path (and related documents) for migrating Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1??

    Thanks Nathan for your response.
    Will the below Essbase Upgrade steps work (From version 7.1 to Version 11.1.2.1 directly)?
    1. Install Essbase 11.1.2.1 in one server (new) and Shared Services in another server (new). Both the new servers with Win 2008 OS.
    2.Login to EAS console in the new server. Open the outline version 7.1 and then migrate to version 11.1.2.1.
    3. Copy the artifacts (such as Calc Scripts and Rule Files etc.) from the Old Essbase directory (Version 7.1) to the new Essbase directory (Version 11.1.2.1).
    4. Extract data from the old system and import into the new system.
    5. Export Essbase security from old system and import to the shared services of the new system. This might requires some manual interventions.
    Or, do I have to upgarde from version 7.1 to 11.1.1.3 and then from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1?

  • Recommended Upgrade path for Apex 3.1.1

    Hi Everyone,
    just wondering what the recommended upgrade path from Apex 3.1 to 3.1.1 is. Is it just installing the Patch or is there an upgrade option for the full-3.1.1-version?
    The reason i'm asking is not everyone has access to metalink and can therefor not download the patch from there but the full version from OTN
    thanks,
    Peter

    Peter,
    As with our previous patch sets, we release a full, new install on OTN and only release the patch via MetaLink (it is one of the benefits for customers with database support). You can use the full release to upgrade from 3.0 (or before) to 3.1.1 but to get from 3.1 to 3.1.1 you need either the patch or you need to do a new install.

  • Upgrade path for BI Publisher

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 deployed with in Oracle application server SOA suite 10.1.3.1.0 on its own. We plan to upgrade our application server area to WEBLOGIC suite some time soon.
    Finally, we want to deploy Oracle BI Publisher into WEBLOGIC suite along with oracle forms/reports etc with high availability.
    I checked with oracle through SR and as per them as of now there no migration path for Oracle BI Publisher on WEBLOGIC suite.
    1) Can any one give idea of what will be migration path for Oracle BI Publisher on WEBLOGIC which will co-exists with oracle forms/reports etc
    Thanks

    We are trying to create graphical reports from Oracle Financial Statement Generator (FSG) xml output. I personally have extensive exposure working with XML (BI) Publisher but until recently I have never tried to use the BIP charting wizard to create graphical reports from FSG xml output out of EBS 11i/R12.
    I created an SR with Oracle but they had to create an enhancement request for this issue. Does anyone know or have any idea on how we can accomplish this. The charting wizard pops up but the xml tags available do not make any sense.
    If anybody has any idea please send me an email at [email protected]
    Thanks,
