G5 tower, dual 1.8 power pc (can I replace with "INTEL" processors)

Is it possible or worth it to replace my G5 towers "POWER PC" processor with new "INTEL" processor ???

Hi Tellastrat, and a warm welcome to the forums!
AS Niel says no, you'd need all the other parts including Logic Board, RAM, Power Supply, Graphics Card, & een a new case, or a lot of machining on the G5's case to fit everything... they only look similar outside... sorry.

Can I change out the processor in a HP G71

I've been told that the current processor, a Intel Celeron CPU 900 @ 2.2GHz 2.19GHz, can NOT be taken out... as it's one that has been soldered in. Is this True ?? I would REALLY like to upgrade to a Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz processor if it's possible.
ANY help would be Greatly Appreciated !!
Thanks,
Jeff

Did some inquiring and your only going to get a couple of frames per second at best upgrading with any CPU. Don't spend the money on the one you were going to upgrade to, it's very expensive and it won't really make any difference.
The video card is key to gaming and the one in your G71 isn't up to the task.

Intel graphic cards were never meant for gaming.
Gaming laptops are quite expensive and only the most costly have upgradable video cards, they start at around 1200 to 1500 dollars. I tell people to go for a desk top if they can, it's way more practical and a new desk top can be easily upgraded including the video card.
Go to Intel and run their automated driver application and see if you have some improvement. Make sure you do a manual Windows restore point before installing a new video driver, or any driver for that matter.

Can I change/upgrade the processor of Satellite A350-x6310

Hello All,
How is it going?
I have a small question.
My Laptop model is A350-x6310 (psal6g-01p00y)
The processor in my laptop is intel core2duo p7350.
Unfortunately it doesnot support intel virtualization so i am planning to replace it withintel core 2 duo p 8600.
I would like to know is it possible?
I have heard that now a days processors are soldered to the laptops and its not possible to replace them.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thank you and kind regards

Hi mate
Theoretically this would be possible since the CPU is just mounted and not soldered on the motherboard.
But as I said its theoretically only because the BIOS has not been configured for another CPUs.
In worst case the BIOS would not be compatible with the CPU and the notebook would not boot up or the OS would not run stable
Furthermore the stronger CPU develops more heat dissipation and this could lead to a higher temperature and to unexpected shut downs
So in my opinion its not worth to upgrade the CPU because you will also not notice any boost performance.

Can a 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Processor 10.5.8 support an upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6

I want to up grade to snow leopard so that i can use facetime to talk to my son on his ipod touch.
My G5 computer has 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Processor
I want to upgrade from version 10.5.8. to 10.6 snow leopard
With the processors I have is this possible.

Hi: Your information is somewhat conflicting, (a GS can not have an Intel processor), but if it has an Intel processor, it can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Requirements are listed at the Apple support article below.

2005 PowerBookG4- Replace Power PC w/ Intel Processor- Possible?

I have a 2005 Powerbook G4, PowerPC, version 10.5.8. I want to know if I can get an Intel (or other) processor to replace the old Power PC, and with that, install the current OS, which I think is now Mountain Lion. In othe words, I want to avail myself of the latest software innovations, and am willing to cobble together the hardware to make that happen, within reason. I like the physical design and architecture of the old G4 and am reluctant to part ways with it. Is this at all possible/practical,, or just too much $$ and hassle? I'm an old school guy who is happy luggin' around an older 'heavy' PC andf can do without tablets asnd such.

Its amazing how many people come in here and always ask this question or same sets of questions over and over again. Can PowerPC G4/G5/G3 be upgradable to Intel? Can I place an Intel processor in my Powerbook??, I don't mean to be rude or come off sounding bad towards those who ask these questions, but its getting rather long in the tooth.
PowerPC Macs, depending on which you have can go as high as 10.5.8 Leopard and thats all. Some can only go as far as 10.4.11, but those would be your low end PowerPC machines.
The best PowerPC Macs for Leopard would be the following:
G4 MDD dual 1.25/1.42
Any upgraded G4 based machine with a strong graphics card for core image(speeds up video acceleration under OS X) and processor. e.g.: Sawtooth G4 500 upgraded to 2.0Ghz PowerLogix.
All G5's in my opinion should have no problems running Leopard up to and including 10.5.8.
G3's are best suited for Tiger 10.4.11 and Panther 10.3.9(Low low end G3s).
A rule of the thumb: if its PowerPC it can't be upgraded to INTEL, period!
Hope I wasn't too rude.. didn't mean to ruffle any feathers here. Just tired of seeing the same thing over and over again.
enough ranting! Now, who's up for installing Leopard on their PowerPC Mac?

Installing an intel processor on a power mac G5 (2004) with mac os Xpanther

Hi everyone,
I really need some help, I need to update my Power Mac G5 because I discover that almost every single new upgrade for Final Cut Pro is for Intel Macs, so i would like to know if it is possible to install this processor to my oldie computer or can I upgrade my panther system to a leopard and being able to run the new programs??'. Thanks a lot
Eugenia

You can't install an Intel processor in your G5. For Intel you need to buy a new/newer Mac.
Here's the *Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements*
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950 To upgrade, you can skip Tiger 10.4.
Recommend you increase RAM more than the minimum.

Can you change the processor from PowerPC to Intel?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It's not possible. Intel-based Macs use completely different logic boards than PowerPC-based Macs because chips are different (Intel-based Macs use EFI instead of Open Firmware, or PRAM instead of NVRAM), so if you want a Intel processor on your computer, you need a new iMac

HELP! can't upgrade to snow leopard 10.6.3 to upgrade to LION (so i don't loose my mobile me account- Cause i need the iCloud) since my computer doesn't have intel processor. is there anyway to remedy this without having to purchase a new computer?

I just purchased $29.99 upgrade disk for Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and ten minutes later recieved an email from apple offering a free upgrade. I have been getting these warnings to upgrade to get to the CLOUD because my email account was going to be lost. Now my computer will not upgrade due to it not having an intel processor. This is ridiculous!! Does anyone know what I can do. This may end my relationship with Apple!!!!
I have a iMac G5.

Hello, don't worry, you CAN set up Mail in iCloud at the very least.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
This may end my relationship with Apple!!!!
Everybody is out for the bottom lines these days, careful what you get locked into, especially with Apple moving towards more locked in everything.

Can i change XSLT Processor from BIP XSLT Processor to Xalan???

Hi Oracle friends,
I have a problem.....
...i'm not able to insert into customizable XSL-FO layout file the current-date() function and other similars, ....and, for this reason, i searched a solution and i have understood that the problem may be the XSLT Processor that doesn't agree extended namespaces of current date and time functions.
I read that in order to activate these namespaces with functions it is necessary a Xalan or Saxon XSLT processor.
After i tried to run the same customized XSL-FO file with Stylus Studio and (with a Saxon Processor) it's ok.
How can i change XSLT Processor from Oracle BIP XSLT Processor to Xalan(or Saxon)???
Regards
Emanuel

[SOLVED] Can't Change Brightness on Intel VGA

Hey,
I can't change brightness, either from the buttons on laptop or the slider in power management (default KDE applet). When I try it, the OSD shows brightness changing but there is no actual change of brightness.
Some info about my laptop:
It's HP Probook 4540s, which has Intel and ATI Radeo hybrid/dual VGA cards. After reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hybrid_graphics , I disabled my discrete (ATI) graphic card from BIOS, now:
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Though, I couldn't change the brightness when I hadn't disabled ATI card either. I also have both xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-intel installed.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Updated thread title.

In any case, I have the same hardware according to lspci, and I have to use acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" on the kernel command line. Some people report that using acpi_osi=Linux works as well. acpi_backlight=vendor somewhat improves the situation, but apparently this is very very strongly discouraged by the acpi people.
If you try the not-windows acpi_osi parameter, you need to make sure you adhere to your bootloader's way of handling double quotes. If it is grub2, you can simply escape them with backslashes... so it would be acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\". You might also have to escape the ! as well, but I can't remember, as I don't actually use grub2. The one that is particularly odd is rEFInd though, as it specifies the use of double double-quotes.
By kernel command line, I am assuming you mean the 'linux' line in grub boot list.
I tried both acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\" and acpi_osi=Linux, neither worked. I added them after ro quiet, and pressed F10 to boot, it should boot with the edited entry, right?
Also, there are lots of repetitions of the following messages in dmesg, not sure if they were present before too, or are just appearing after adding that !Windows:
[ 8427.949528] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xa7 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 8427.949537] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e027 <keycode>' to make it known.
As far as I can figure out, they are for each time I press the Fn+brightness-low/brightnes-high key, or move the brightness slider in applet.

HT1338 I have a canon pixma ip4300 ij printer connected to my mac G5 with an intel processor, i cannot print cd labels since i changed from the old mac OSX processor.

I have a canon pixma ip4300 ij printer with software to print cd/dvd labels ,i origonaly had it connected to a mac with the old MAC OSX processor,since i have changed to a mac with MOUNTAIN LION the new intel processor i cannot print the cd labels, i have downloaded software update for the printer but it still reverts back to the old software , can anyone help thank you Allan R

So do you have any problems using the iP4300 to print from other applications on 10.8? Just trying to get an idea of your current setup.
I ask because Easy PhotoPrint (EPP) will use your existing printer - there is no need to create a new printer. So when you open the software and select to make a Disc Label, when you get to Step 4 - Print Settings, the software looks at your existing printer setup to check that you have a printer that will support CD/DVD printing (not all models of Canon inkjet support this).
So with regards to the problem connecting to the iP4300, is the software failing to locate a supporting printer? Can you give me a bit more info as to what is happening when you attempt to print a CD/DVD from EPP?
