MacPro1,1 Dual-Core maximum upgrades
Where would I find the imformation for upgrades for MacPro1,1 Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz, as far as core, memory, and graphic display maximum capacity
First off, the Mac Pro uses SATA (not IDE) drives.
Second, apple advertises the max size as being the "max size currently". So during that time when you bought the MP, the largest size SATA drive was 750GB; that's why apple said 4 x 750gb. But in essence you can go up to whatever the largest is on the market. So 4 x 2TB is fine.

ENVY 15t-1100 CTO (NX346AV) Dual core CPU upgrade?
Hello Experts,
I have the Laptop noted above (15t-1100 CTO) and I would like to replace the quad core i7-i820QM CPU (its a Clarksfield variant of Nehalem - Socket G1) with a faster (more power efficient) Dual Core CPU. I purchased a i7 620M (more power efficient dual core also on Socket G1) and when installed in the laptop, it POSTS, but Windows will always crash 1/2 way through the boot, reguardless if I'm on the original install of the Windows 7 OS, or trying to boot a Windows 7/8 Install CD (via USB). I feel that the board lacks support for this CPU (any of the dual core CPUs really), but I cannot find confirmation anywhere. Also note, I had to remove 2 of the 4 ram sticks to even get this far (leaving a single ram stick on each channel.. I'm assuming partly due to the dual core supporting only 2 memory chanels.
Please adviseHI kylematinfox:
I hope you had a super weekend!
I understand you are having some difficulties after doing an upgrade. I am sending you the link to the user guide for your computer click here. I am also sending you a link to Replacing the Motherboard click here. If you replaced the motherboard have you tried doing a bios update?If you require further assistance would you please provide the details of any changes you have made.

Can older dual core iMac be external monitor to new (lion) imac
If yes, how do they need to be connected and configured?
Thanks, classic II for the reply. You are right--I should consider configuring my old Mac to be a wireless device if/when I get a new iMac, however I still would need my flash drive to have embroidery designs on it in order to get the designs into xp under bootcamp.
It was painful for me to get my dual core iMac upgraded to 1 meg for snow leopard. I could drive 50 miles to an authorized apple person, leave my iMac and he would order and install the 2 gig memory and in addition charge me $300 to fix the cd drive that was barely off warranty or do what I did. Local apple store would install a half Meg of memory but couldn't do the ordering. So I ordered 500 meg memory from on line apple store, had it shipped to my house, and then had apple store install it--to get me to 1 Gig, so I could install snow leopard--I think the apple store installed it for no charge since I ordered the memory from on line apple store, and didn't have to drive 50 miles, one way--twice.
What I have is working for me, so I guess I'll just watch what happens with lion and icloudI and apple tv (and bernina v6 software which only runs under windows7 on macs) and move on to new iMac when things are settled. -

I am looking at buying a MacBook Air over the Pro mainly for the 12 hour battery. Just wondering if battery is compromised by upgrading to 8mb and upgrading to I7 Intel dual core. I am not very tech savvy so apologies if dumb question
If both computers were configured identically, then they would both lose the same amount of battery life with respect to the same starting configuration - comparing apple to apples. I don't know how much the added RAM, etc. would reduce battery life, but it would be less for both models.
Battery life is a tricky subject because most mfgr.s like to suggest as long a life as possible, but often do so under a set of conditions that are not common to most users. Apple is no different. Their computers do have good battery life, however. But not likely as long as what is in the ads for the typical user. -
HI, I HAVE A MacBook Pro 2.3GHz dual-core Intel i5 AND I WAN'T TO UPGRADE THE HARD DRIVE UP TO 750GB AND ALSO THE RAM MEMORY TO 8GB. WHAT SPECIFIC MODEL OF HARD DRIVE AND RAM MEMORY SHOULD I BUY??? THANKS
No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
Good luck,

Running 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66GHz processors. Can I upgrade to Lion 10.7
I've just upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intell Xeon, 2.66GHz. Is it possilbe to upgrade to Lion 10.7 with my Mac Pro Dual Core or have I just hit my ceiling on 10.6.8 update ?
Mac Pros are not PowerMacs. In 2006, Apple changed all its cheesegrater enclosure Macs to have the Xeon chip installed, and changed the name to Mac Pro at that that time from PowerMac G5. That said, all Mac Pros can upgrade to a minimum of 10.7.5. Only the earliest ones can't upgrade to 10.8 and above. 10.7 and later do not have Rosetta, the ability to run PowerPC (pre-2006) applications natively. For other pitfalls, read this tip.

2 2.66 Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor upgrade
I have a question about my Mac Pro.I don't know if you can answer it or point me in the right direction. I have a 2006 Mac Pro 2+2.66Ghz. Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 8 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 FB-DIMM Ram.What types of upgrades can I do to make this a faster machine? Processor upgrade? or should I just by a new Mac Pro?
Selling the old one and buying a new one is the easiest way.
Macs tend to keep a much higher value then PC.

Upgrading Zbook 15 From i5 4200m Dual Core to an i7 Quad Core; Is it possible?
Hi. I have this laptop. Is it possible to replace the i5 dual processor with an i7 quad core? If so, I might upgrade. I am just not sure if the Zbook dual core laptop shares the same motherboard as a quad core.
Thanks much!
Gary
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi Gary
Yes you're correct: you've to change out board for upgrading to Quad core processor. It's going to cost you much compared to price of the laptop.

Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact? Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?
The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'. The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'. Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of CPU.

I Have bought The new MacBook Pro 13-inch:
2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics
My Q: Can I upgrade my memory ram from 8GB to 16GB ?Sure. Make sure that you buy the RAM specified for your computer - 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs - and purchase from a reputable dealer such as Crucial, OWC, etc.
You can go to the Crucial website and use the System Scanner app to get the correct RAM for your unit.

Want to Upgrade my MacPro (Dual Core) 2.66 Ghz to a SSD
Hi,
I would like to upgrade my current MacPro (Dual Core) 2.66Ghz computer that has a 250GB HD to a possible 256 SSD or bigger. Are they compatible? I dont know if this matters or not but I also have 10gb of RAMM.Once you install the SSD do the following. First, prepare the new SSD:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Next, clone your existing drive to the SSD (assuming the SSD is 256 GBs this will work.)
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the SSD. Source means the startup drive.
Now, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the SSD's disk icon then click on the arrow button below the icon. This will boot the computer from the SSD if all is well.
If it boots successfully then open Startup Disk preferences, select the SSD, then click on the Restart button which will restart from the SSD.
