Processor upgrade options for K7T266 Pro 2?

I have a K7T266 Pro 2 motherboard with a XP1700 processor.
What processors can I upgrade to? Will I need to make modifications to my MB?
Also, it has been a few years since I have built this computer.  Where is a good (cheap) source for processors, and other computer parts?
Thanks,
Stuman

Is this what you are talking about?  What will the processor speed difference be between that and my current processor?

  • Graphics card upgrade options for Mac Pro (early 2008) Model 3.1

    Hi,
    What are my options if I wish to upgrade the stock graphics card? I seem to remember there being one that was about £80 but I can no longer check as the site is only listing the 2009 mac pros now.
    Any assistance would be gratefully received!

    Your current options are:
    ATI 2600
    Nvidia 8800
    Nvidia 5600
    Or third-party ATI 3870 Mac/PC Edition.
    Presumably the new ATI 4870 will work in the Early 2008 MP, but requires OS X 10.5.7 which is not yet released. You can find benchmarks at Bare Feats.

  • Why is it that the new macbook pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned to go much faster anyway?

    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.

  • GeForce 7300 GT Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro?? G5?

    Hi,
    Just found this on the apple store:
    http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=1643C421&nplm=M A567
    "NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro"
    Why is it only for mac pro? its PCI express & my g5 is one of the late 2005 models and it has PCI Express so am i wrong in thinking that this should work fine or is it something to do with the new intel architecture?
    If i remember correctly i could have chosen this card or a very similar one when i configured my G5.
    Thanks

    That card is only for the Mac Pro, as it says.
    When you ordered your G5, you had the choice of the nVidia 6600 (or 6600LE), nVidia 7800GT, or the Quadro FX 4500.
    The 7800GT that you could have ordered with your G5 is close in performance to the ATi X1900XT that is an option on the Mac Pro. The 7300GT that you're looking at is an entry level card, which the 7800GT definitely is not.
    The 7300GT and the X1900XT are both Mac Pro only due to the ROM on the card, which is designed to work with the EFI booting hardware that the Mac Pro uses. The G5s used Open Firmware, which requires a different ROM on the video card. So, even though both your G5 and the Mac Pro are PCI-Express based, these video cards are not compatible.
    Now, most PCI-Express cards that you look at for, say, external SATA, will probably work in both the G5 and the Mac Pro. You'd still want to check the specs to be sure, however.
    If you're looking for a new video card to replace your (presumably) nVidia 6600, your only real option is the ATi X1900 G5 edition. This is a different card than the X1900XT that's offered for the Mac Pro.

  • Reviews for ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro?

    There's no review at the Apple Store on this [ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Early 2009 or Early 2008)|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=NDE4NDMx OA]. Googled and found nothing related to the Mac kit. Mostly PC based.
    Should I consider this card? I need a spare/replacement graphics card for my Mac Pro (early 2008). The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card has failed me twice.

    Just came out on barefeats:
    http://www.barefeats.com/nehal14.html
    Shows new drivers with 285, also compares 4870.
    If you play a lot of games on the windows side, you might also want to consider the 4890. I has recently became flashable (if you're into that kinda thing). It has a lot more leeway to be overclocked. Close to (or if your lucky) hitting the 1 Ghz core clock speed, gives very close comp to the 285, and at fraction of the price. You can get an XFX 4890 on newegg for $195.

  • APPLE: We Need An Upgrade Price for Logic Pro X!!!

    There has always been an Upgrade path for Logic Pro. Where is it???

    I've been using Logic since it was Notator 2.5 as well, upgrading every time, and I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with their being no upgrade price.
    Reasons?
    1. Even at the full price, Logic X is cheaper than any ProTools upgrade price.
    2. It is a ridiculously powerful piece of software which can do things I was only dreaming of being able to do 20 years ago. Frankly I think $200/£139 is astonishingly good value for what it can do.
    Perhaps people should stop convincing themselves that software manufacturers somehow 'owe them'  just because they're long-term users? Apple has delivered a  piece of professional level software at a remarkable price - for that I'm actually pretty thankful!
    Nobody ever said doing professional quality audio was cheap.

  • What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for MacBook Pro A1278 Early '11

    What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for macbook pro A1278 Early 2011?  I have seen 750GB on some websites, but I would like a 1TB  I am looking for SATA 6.0GB, 1TB 7200.  Is this dependant on the physical size of the hard drive? I have seen a height of 15mm and 9.5 mm.  How do I know what will fit??

    I have not seen any 7200 rpm 1 TB HDDs.  They all are 5400 rpm.  I would say that this HDD comes closest to your requirements.  Tomorrow, there may be others.

  • Upgrade Options for ENVY dv6-7366ez

    Hello.
    I bought an ENVY dv6-7366ez notebook and I like to know the upgrade options for it (GPU, CPU, Display, Optical Drive). Here in Hungary I tried to contact with the official Hungarian HP support but they didn't have any information.... They said that the HP HQ don't share any information about it with them, but as i saw that's not true because i see many topics in the forum... Just not for my new/old notebook... So  like to know which CPUs and GPUs are compatible with my notebook and what are the display and optical drive upgrade possibilities.
    Product Number: D5m07EA#UUZ

    Hi,
    The following link shows specs of your machine:
        http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03666370
    and the following link shows manuals, guides for your machine:

    Page #1 of manusl #1 shows a list of CPU's supported.
    You can upgrade RAM to 16Gb and MAY BE able to upgrade CPU. Other than that you may consider buying a new machine, could be cheaper.

    If you can, you want MATCHED, TRIPPLE CHANNEL, ECC registered ram with the same timings as the original ram.  I found that 1333mhz ram of that type is a bit easier to find these days (any faster ram will work in the your macpro).  Anyhoo, I found 12 GB of ram 3x4gb (oh yeah, and tripple channel ram likes to be installed in three's so if you can stick with only 3 chips of ram unless you are making it out or something.) for like $150.  If you keep your eyes pealed you can get a great deal.

  • Upgrade options from Premiere Pro 2.0

    I have PP 2.0 on my xp system.
    I would like to upgrade to a newer version with better HD support that will be running on a laptop with Win 7 (64 bit).
    I just use this for personal work - no commercial, student, or teacher work.
    I have loooked all over and can only see the CC (cloud). I just want to pay as little as possible once to get a new version of Premiere only.
    What are my options, if any?
    tnx,

  • Upgrade options for my new old Power Mac G4?

    So I just got a free Power Mac G4 MDD. It has dual G4 1.25 GHz cpus, 2 GB RAM, 4x80 GB Seagate Cheetah SCSI hard drives in RAID 0, Airport wireless, 2 Super drives, and a Geforce4 Ti 4600 GPU. It has a fresh install of Tiger, and I am wondering what upgrades are available for it; it feels smooth most of the time, but high res videos on youtube are pretty much unwatchable. I have done some research of my own, and I found a few pci-x cards that look useful, like for SATA ports, Firewire 800, usb 2.0, etc. I have also read about cpu upgrades up to 1.8 Ghz, and that it is possible to flash a pc graphics card to work on a mac, but all of the examples I've seen are with PCI Express graphics cards. Should I get the Sata card and use faster hard drives? Is there, in your experience, a good graphics card upgrade for my PowerMac? Is there a CPU upgrade faster the 1.42 GHz that I can get, and where? And what about overclocking my cpu? I got this for free, and I am willing to pay a few hundred dollars to upgrade it. I know its pretty old, but fixing up and upgrading old computers to there best is a hobby of mine.

    Should I get the Sata card and use faster hard drives?
    PCI or PCI-X controllers provide for good perfomance with SATA drives.
    The Firmtek Seritek cards have excellent compatibility, are bootable to connected drives, and will help provide performance beyond that possible with ATA drives on the native bus.
    BTW, PCI-X cards are backwards compatible to PCI.
    Is there, in your experience, a good graphics card upgrade for my PowerMac?
    The three best options for a MDD are a flashed Radeon 9800 XT, Radeon X800XT (flashed FireGL X3) or flashed Geforce 7800 GS.
    If one upgrades to Leopard, the FireGL/X800 is best.
    In Tiger, the 7800 GS is best.
    Is there a CPU upgrade faster the 1.42 GHz that I can get, and where?
    Sonnet used to make one (MDX Duet), but you'll be hard pressed to find one on eBay or such.
    IMHO, overclocking the 1.42 GHz processor to 1.58 GHz provides for a much more powerful machine.
    Heck, even at 1.42 GHz, the 7445 processor and 2 MB L3 cache are stronger, overall, than the 7447 processor used in the MDX Duet.
    And what about overclocking my cpu?
    http://bitsandpieces.info/Multipliers.htm
    OC'ing the MDD adds to heat issues.
    There are some great mods like this one:

  • IMac11,3 processor upgrade options

    Does anyone know if I can add a second processor to an iMac 27" model iMac11,3 or upgrade the 2.93GHz processor to a faster one?

    With the build-to-order option when ordering a new iMac from Apple Store, you can have them put a faster processor inside at the time.
    There is no offered aftermarket or CPU upgrade offered for these once they have shipped, outside of whatever RAM, HDD or replacement fusion drive, or maybe a graphic card replacement by an authorized service center (such as the logicboard and the parts that aren't part of the board) in a component-by-component scheme, such as troubleshooting a drive. A custom build may possibly be put together by some private party.
    contact apple support http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    If a Mac computer is under 14 days since purchase, one could consider returning it to Apple and inquire of a faster processor series, such as BTO may provide. There may be other options unknown to me; as I'm no expert although I read quite a bit across many topics.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Any updates on the ATI Radeon HD 5870 upgrade kit for Mac Pro 2009/2010?

    So,
    while the card is shipping without delay in new BTO Mac Pro units, there still is no sign of the kit posted on on the online store months ago (day/date with current Mac Pro release). To date, the card hasn't shipped (to anyone - no 3rd party store has received it), Apple still shows 'currently unavailable' - without even an 'add to cart' button (like the Quadro 4000); and even AppleCare is in the dark (you'd assume they can send units for replacement. Yet, while they can be setup in the GSX system, there is apparently no 'cost' shipments available even from support).
    I suppose not - but does anyone have any more insight into what's going on here? This looks suspiciously like this card is not going to see the light of day as an upgrade kit; for either 2010 or 2009 Mac Pro.....
    Cheers,
    Dan

    Ugh.
    That rhymes with what we are seeing.
    After about a week of there being an 'order' button for the 5870 (it remained 'currently unavailable' though), the 'add to cart' option has, today, disappeared again. I assume anyone who ordered the card during the window will not see the card, and there seem to have been no purchase confirmations (usually sent within 15 minutes of processing) sent to anyone who ordered.
    All this, as well as you report, points to the 5870 being EOL; apparently only a contingent was made for the Mac Pro, and now even AppleCare is running down on inventory for replacements.
    That begs the question; once inventory runs out - assuming it does - to even supply the Mac Pro BTO, there has to be some replacement ready; assumingly something with better yield.
    BTW - the 5870 cards for the Mac Pro are made by AMD (they are identical to the reference boards), and are stamped as such in Mac Pros. Whatever Apple does with them, they still get them from AMD, not a third party....
    And, the Quadro 4000 isn't a good replacement - apart from the cost (which is reasonable for a productivity card) as for non-optimized apps (i.e. users that would usually buy a 5870) it'll likely be much slower due to the low clock and memory speed on the card. And, WOW isn't CUDA aware
    Oh well
