Opening up the new core 2 duo mini

so has anyone opened up their new core 2 duo mini yet?
Is the motherboard the same as core duo models?
Is the cpu still socket mounted, thus upgradeable?
thanks

mine is a ppc and i think intel mini has the same procedure in opening it, yup i've opened my mini
motherboard of the core2 duo i presume? I have no idea sorry...
the cpu is socket mounted and is upgradable but probably would void the waranty
happy upgrading

  • When does apple integrate the new Core 2 Duo Processors into the MacBooks?!

    Does anyone know if apple decided to integrate the new Core 2 Duo processors from Intel into the Macbooks, yet?
    When does it happen?!?!?
    Thx
    backbeat

    In order to keep up with the core 2 duo processor enabled laptops, apple must sooner or later have the new processors in either the MB lineup or the MBP's...however, if you want to fully take advantage of the new core 2 duo processors, might as well wait 'til next spring..when they come out with the new logic boards for the core 2 duo's...the current core 2 duo's share the same pin lay-out with the core duo's, so they can be used in the same logic boards,....(the people who buy the MB's with the core 2 duo processors are gonna regret buying it if they buy it before spring....cuz of this..)
    wait 'til next spring so you'll be fully happy with your MB...or , like me, you can just wait for your order right now and be satisfied with it.....
    when you do wait 'til spring, they'll probably have another new technological advancement, so you'll wanna wait for that.....sooner or later....we'll get 3D computer screens!!!!~~~
    my point is, you must evaluate what you'll be using your MB for...if the current MB's can fully service you, don't wait...

  • Anyone know a good place to get a 2GB chip for the new Core 2 duo MBP 2.16

    I jst sold my MBP 17 ionch fro the core 2 duo so I can have three GBs Of ram for ma audio apps. I am trying to find a decent priced 2GB chip unless there is a typo crucial says 929.00 I almost passed out. I used to get all my ram there but that is just too high any other suggestions

    I wouldn't expect a big drop too soon. That's a lot of RAM density on a small board. Unless there's a major increase in demand I wouldn't expect much of a drop in price.
    No doubt there may be cheaper prices than Datamem's. Although their prices are usually competitive, they are not always the cheapest. But they do offer good service, fast delivery, have a good return policy, and experience with Macs. My recommendation is based on a 10 year history with them which has been 100 percent satisfactory.
    But $500 for a marginal 1 GB of RAM is a lot. I'm not convinced it's enough to warrant going from 2 GBs to 3 GBs. I have 2 GBs in mine and it seems perfectly fine for my needs.

  • Is the new Core 2 Duo processor 64 bit?

    Is the Core 2 Duo processor in the new MacBooks 64 bit?

    Yes, but most software doesn't have the capability to use it's advantages - YET. When Leopard comes out, it will fully support the 64bit processor. Still - it will be some time before 64-bit apps come it, IF they do. Buying the C2D now simply buys more into the future of computing.

  • Putting in the new Core 2 Duo...

    Has anyone heard anything about when/if the MBP will have the new chips put in? I heard mid to late August.

    Goony,
    No need to apologize; having no direct experience of Apple computers, you are right to be concerned. Let me assure you that you need not be. I'll do what I can to help you get "The Feel."
    Apple's hardware revisions tend to ocurr on a cycle, but that will be modified by the intro of new Intel machines. With the exception of the towers, the entire line has now made the transition, so we can expect the cycle to resume as normal pretty soon. Although we cannot speculate, we can generally expect something new to be announced at the WWDC (Aug. 7). Generally speaking, a particular platform (iMac, laptop, tower) usually gets an update at least once a year, and new versions of OS X are released on about the same rotation (once in each calendar year).
    For you, the first consideration should be that any new laptop will be an Intel Core Duo machine. If you purchase a Macbook Pro, it will also have a very powerful PCI Express video card with dedicated video memory. This will position you as well as can be for any future OS or application updates/upgrades.
    Of more concern to you should be when your purchase makes sense for you. Is there some compelling reason to wait? Is there some reason to purchase now?
    If this machine is intended for use at school (college??), it might be wise to purchase enough ahead of time that you will have adequate time to adjust to the new OS. My suggestion would be to attempt to migrate completely to OS X, foregoing the installation of Windows entirely, if you can. Your productivity (and enjoyment) will benefit from remaining entirely in OS X, and you can avoid having to waste precious disk space on Windows. A "cold turkey" migration does take a bit of time for adjustment, and you want to be completely up to speed by the time school places demands on your time. This consideration makes more sense to me than does which processor you end up with.
    If you have further, specific questions about how all this works, feel free to ask.

  • New Core 2 Duo iMac Memory specification confusion

    I'm confused about the memory specification for the new iMac (late 2006). In the article 303084, it says that the new iMac models, other than 17 " model, accept DDR2 PC2 5300 667Mhz SO DIMM. But in the other article ( 304284 ), it says that the memory is DDR2 PC2 5400 667Mhz SO DIMM. So which one does it take? I'm just about to pick up the new iMac tomorrow and I already have 2 sticks of 1GB of DDR 5300 lying around. Can I use these 2 sticks in the new iMac? The brand of the memory is Samsung. Are they compatible with the new iMac? For all you guys out there who upgraded the memory in the new iMac, which brand do you use? I live in Australia, so brands like Crucial and OWC are hard to find. The popular local brands here Samsung, Corsiar, Twin Mos and Kingmax. I bought the Samsung from a friend who pulled them out from a Dell Laptop which he hated and sold it after a week of ownership. Now he's a proud owner a new Macbook Pro with 2GB of RAM installed from the factory. I would like to a make good use of these 2 Samsung RAMs. Thank you.

    P'Boy,
    No worries. The PC2-5400 that appears in the article you cite is a misprint. The iMac Core 2 Duo takes PC2-5300 memory. I have the new Core 2 Duo and verified this by looking at the memory modules. While PC2-5400 may well work in the iMac Core 2 Duo, PC2-5300 is the type of memory specified by Apple to work with this computer.
    Samsung is a fine brand, and is one of the brands used by Apple, so it should function just fine. Cosair is another fine brand, though I have not had occasion to use Cosair memory in a Mac (I've used it in a number of PCs).
    Bottom line. Your Samsung PC2-5300 modules should work just fine. Enjoy your new Core 2 Duo!

  • Would FCP3 run on new Core 2 Duo iMacs?

    I've been using FCP3 academic for editing my home videos as a hobby for years. I'd like to move up to the new Core 2 Duo imac with 2 GB of ram for speed and USB2 etc. I also have FCEHD.
    Does anybody know if FCP3 will run on the new iMac? If so, will it be slower or faster than it would run on my old eMac?
    Thanks,
    Maurice

    Yes, of course it will. But it will be in Rosetta-mode, I believe, unless you get your hands on the universal app:
    http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
    If you don't have Final Cut Studio already it may be an expensive upgrade, but you may be able to call Apple and perhaps there is a way to just upgrade FCP without buying all of Final Cut Studio. (Although I highly recommend DVD Studio Pro over iDVD...)

  • Can I move the OS X boot disk from a core 2 duo mini to a new i5 mini and have it boot and run normally? Some info suggests I can.

    I have a 2.53ghz core 2 duo mac mini. I just purchased an i5 2.5ghz mac mini (with amd 6630m graphics).
    Can I simply ermove the OS X boot disk from the core 2 duo mini and put it into the i5 mini and have the it boot up and run fine?
    Some info I read suggests I can do this and it should be no problem and will work fine.
    I am running 10.9.3 of OS X.
    Thanks.

    - I would connect the two via FireWire
    - Boot the new one Target Disk Mode
    - Boot the old one in Recovery
    OS X: About OS X Recovery
    and then uses disk utility to restore the HD on the new computer from the starup disk of the old one.
    You could also boot the old one normally, download SuperDuper and the clone the old one's startup disk to the new one.

  • My iTunes won't open on the new ios7

    my iTunes won't open with the new iOS7. it will start to open then crash.

    Hi Kori,
    Close all apps: Double click on the Home button, then swipe up on the mini screens displayed above each open app.
    Reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your iTunes will open.
    Cheers,

  • Verity Credit Union site will not open with the new Firefox. How can I get the old Firefox back?

    I want old Firefox back. My credit union, Verity, will not open with the new version of Firefox I have downloaded.

    @glennhaste, the public pages I visited seem identical in IE8 and Fx10, but you may be referring to a part of the site that requires logging in (impossible for non-customers to view).
    Since the problem is so recent, can you recall any changes you made in Firefox, or are you aware of any changes your CU made on its site?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    Firefox > Preferences > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, "right-click" and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" (''Sorry, I don't know how you right-click on a Mac'')
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Is there a difference between the Intel Core 2 Duo & the Intel Core Duo?

    I am looking to buy a new laptop, and I wanted to know if there is a big or major difference between the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, compared to the Intel Core Duo.
    I currently have a powerbook G4 and it has a 1.67 GHz PowerPC G2 Processor, which I have noticed isn't that great, I can't download the new snow leopard software update, nor watch movies from Netflex and other stuff like that. Its pretty annoying, so that is why I was asking about the difference between the other two processors, I want to know if it doesn't matter or which one is the best before I buy.
    I'm pretty computer dumb when it comes to this stuff that's why I'm asking.
    Thanks in Advance.
    - Heather Tel

    Core 2 Duo processors are newer and more powerful (and thus faster) than Core Duos. Apple's current notebook computers all use Core 2 Duos, so if you buy new, that's what you'll get. The earliest MacBooks and MacBook Pros had Core Duos in them, but the last of those models was discontinued late in 2006.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • How do I secure a PDF that has been signed so that it can't be opened in the new Word

    Hi all
    Hoping someone can help. As the title suggests I need some advice in securely locking a PDF after it has been signed.
    I know how to secure a PDF document so that it can't be opened in the new version of the Word 2013.
    File > properties > Security and pick password protect
    Then open Word and down the bottom left hand corner click 'open other documents'
    This then attempts to open the PDF and if secure it will fail to open if unsecured it will open making the content fully editable
    However when you sign a document you can't secure it by going file > properties > Security and pick password protect.
    Then open Word and down the bottom left hand corner click 'open other documents'
    This then opens the PDF and makes the content fully editable but removes the signature
    The content is fully editable - how can I lock this????????????????????????????
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Garetch,
    You could encrypt the file first, but set the permissions to allow for signing. After that you can sign the encrypted file (you just can't encrypt a signed file). As long as you get the order of operations correct (encrypt first, sign second) you will end up at the same place you are trying to get to.

  • Error: -69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online

    Hi,
    I have a filevault encrypted drive (750GB).
    I first noticed a problem when it prompted my for the FileVault passphrase (which I had stored in my keychain) and entering the correct passphrase resulted in the typical "error" response (the sideways "bouncing" entry field) asking me for the passphrase again.
    So I get a list of the corestorage to get the UUID of the encrypted volume:

    BTW: after a while I also hear a single clicking sound (head jumping back on drive) so I am not sure if it might be a physical disk failure.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Also, I've tried Terminal command: diskutil corestorage revert UUID -stdinpassphrase which returned "Error: -69854: A disk with a mount point is required"
    Also, I've tried Terminal command: diskutil corestorage changeVolumePassword UUID -newpassphrase which returned "Error beginning CoreStorage Logical Volume unlock: The target Core Storage volume is not encrypted (-69755)"
