T500 with Q9100 core2 quad processor?

I was just looking at this chip on the Intel website and it looks like it uses the same socket, fsb,, ect as all the other core2 penryn cpus used on T500 but I read somewhere that the computer's bios had to have quad support for one of these to work. Does anyone know if this is possible?   
ThinkPad W-510 i7-820QM(1.73-3.06GHz) Quad Core... ThinkPad T500, T9900, 8gb SSD...FrankNpad T-60p/61p (X9000 2.8ghz) 8gb SSD ips FlexView...ThinkPad T-61p (T9300 2.5ghz) 8gb ram...Thinkpad X-61 Tablet 4gb ram...ThinkPad A-31 (1.9ghz P4 1.5gb ram)

T500 don't support any sort of quad core CPU.

  • Hello !, can i install Mac OSX Lion to my PC (not mac)  i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?

    Hello Guys
    i want to install MacOSX to my pc
    i heard something about that (like OSX86 project ?)
    i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?
    please answer .......

    Teknus...  Here's the issue.  For starters, I understand software licensing issues may not be interpreted the same in all countries (although they are still applicable).  I also understand that everyone is not familiar with what software licensing is.  It is technically possible to install OS X on a PC (as you have seen on your friends computer).  However, Apple has designed OS X to only work on Macs.  In order to get OS X to work on a PC, it must be modified ("hacked").  As these forums are owned by Apple, we are not permitted to provide you with instructions on how to hack their OS.
    Having said that, I have used OS X on PCs.  It is not a pleasant experience at all.  The experience is actually poor enough on a PC that I would not even use it... opting for Windows or Linux instead.  You're simply sacrificing too much of the true OS X experience when you try to run it on standard PC hardware.  If you want to try  a different operating system, give Linux a try.  There are many free versions out there and they will run on just about any PC.  The forums are also very helpful.  Linux is much more similar to OS X than Windows.
    I understand that Macs are expensive and that you would like to use OS X on a PC.  The simple fact is that using it on a PC would not be the same as using it on a Mac.

  • Upgrading to intel core2 quad processor

    Hi
    I am thinking of upgrading one our systems to use the Intel Core 2 Quad processor and with 8 to 16 gb of memeory ,And I was wondering if any one is runing Adobie Premiere CS3 and had any information or advise.We are heavy Affter Effects users.
    Thaks Ken

    32 bit OS = MAX 4GB
    Under a 64 bit OS and 64 bit version of CS3 it could use up to 16 or 32GB I believe.
    EDIT: a 32bit version of CS3 under a 64bit OS = still 4GB Max RAM.

    I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin.  However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

  • PowerMac G5 Image across single, dual, and quad Processor Macs

    Good Day,
    Our organization is preparing to roll out Tiger. To streamline
    this process we have decided to create images for each Mac family in
    use. I know I need to find the newest possible model to create the
    image but what is the rule for single, dual, and quad processor macs?
    Can we use an image created on a quad processor PowerMac on the
    dual/single processor PowerMacs?
    Thanks

    Macs of different models and vintages may take different restore disks. The disk image method of doing this kind of work may or may not work. Use the original disks when faced with different releases or different models. See this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25784
    So a dual-single processor transfer will not necessarily work.
    In addition, there are license agreement considerations.
    I would not do it unless you know you are in the clear on both accounts.

  • Does Adobe Master Collection CS4 work on Quad processors?

    I am trying to buy a new computer (laptop)and I currently own Adobe Master collections CS4 and I would like to know if anyone has installed this on a quad processor and what graphic card will work fine with it? Also what processor speed would I need on a quad processor.
    Thank you.

    neither are much of an upgrade from what you have.
    the new i5/i7 mobile are not all that.
    here are some benchnarks, while for audio they translate to video as well.
    GHz is still king for many things
    http://www.adkproaudio.com/benchmarks.cfm
    the dual core 620m pretty much beat the Q820.
    the older T9600 (same family you have with the P8700) beat them all until the hardest hitting (lower buffer harder hitting)
    only laptop upgrade thats worth it would be a laptop that has a desktop core i7 920 in it.

  • New Quad Processors for Pro Use

    Hey guys, I have a question for those of you who have bought one of the new Quad Processor PowerPC G5's. I work at a Graphic house doing professional Advertising and Marketing. So...my questions is really should we wait till next year when Adobe starts supporting the Intel Based chips (and by that time the Intel Based PowerMac's will be on the market) or do we go with the Quads now. I'd like some feedback from people who have quads now and are using programs like Quark,Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and similiar programs.

    Right up my alley! I have a new Power Quad at home and love it!!! In a professional sense it comes down to how bad does your business need them NOW. If you absolutely can't wait these Power Quads are awesome and will be able to stay current and quite effective with the uncoming evolution of software for many years. If you can wait around a year I would opt for that. I personally had to ugrade now and I have no reget. From a business point of view it would be a better long term chioce to wait for the switch. Keep in mind thought that just because the Macs have switched (and the high end Macs won't go that route for awhile) there will be a wait for all the applications to reprogram and debug and add to the cost of the switch. Many current apps will be able to run on the Intel units but until they are written to run natively there will be a translation step that will make many of these apps useable on the IntelMacs but much slower until they run natively. Guess it boils down to how bad does your business need 'em now. One other note - the Quad is a bit quicker overall with the basic graphics stuff you mentioned, and that do at work, only scratches the surface of the capabilities of the multi-processor set-up of the Quads. The video and audio rendering is where these baby's REALLY save you hours of thime. Happy shopping!

  • Difference between dual and quad processor

    I'm looking into maybe switching from my iMac to the Power Mac G-5 with the 30" screen. Besides internet/email usage I do a lot with PhotoShop CS2. I think at this point in time I don't want to switch to the Intel, and will stay with the standard Mac system. Too many programs to start switching right now.
    First, is there a big difference between the dual and quad processor? Since doing Photo Shop is for pleasure and not a business where time is the essence, would I really see a big difference in speed? I would up the 512 memory to probably 2 or 3 GB as well (like I did on my iMac)
    2nd, Do I have to add a different graphics card, or can I use the one that comes in the computer? I don't do gaming just still pictures.
    Thanks, Allie1254

    Allie,
    Do get the Quad PPC and the next level up video card and AppleCare.
    1: PCI-Express video cards are impossible to come by right now, so get one up from the stock version, you'll come to appreciate it later on. Adds to resale value.
    2: ATI who makes video cards for Macs has been bought by AMD, a processor competitor to Intel. Who knows what the future is going to be on that.
    3: AppleCare is mandatory, one year isn't enough to cover a investment of this sort unless you do plan to dump it before then. Still AppleCare is a added plus to selling if you do.
    If you can get more RAM, more than 3-3.5GB, CS2 will do a amazing 40% more performance because it won't use the slow boot drive as a memory swap (aka "scratch") disk.
    If your handy, or have someone nearby that is, you can buy the RAM at Crucial.com a heck of a lot cheaper than Apple.
    If you really want more performance, I suggest getting a large stock drive that comes from Apple, and a 150GB 10,000 RPM SATA Western Digital 16MB Raptor and (Disk Utility Erase w/ Zero all new drives 1x first) and then install Tiger on the Raptor with all your space hogging files in new folders on the large stock drive. Keep the boot drive less than 50% filled.
    You'll see a incredible snappiness to your OS as Mac OS X "feel" speed is highly dependent upon boot drive speed.
    Your Quad's CPU's are powerful and they can crunch quite a bit, like a bulldozer that can move a lot of dirt. So you can do more at once. But large filled slow boot drives and low RAM just hobble them.
    If you never cloned your boot drive before, you should learn how to do that too. (Don't clone a different machines OS to a new one though.) You'll need a external firewire 800/400 drive equal to or bigger than your boot drive.

  • Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 CPU, 2.83GHz

    Hi!
    I dream of buying the new processor called Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 CPU, 2.83GHz.
    Is it to suit my motherboard - Marketing Name: P35 Neo2-FR/FIR; MSI Model: MS-7345?
    Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 CPU, 2.83GHz has 45nm. My motherboard can receive 45nm or 65nm only?
    If so, do I need to upgrade the BIOS?
    If there is no upgrade from the BIOS. It means that I can only put into Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 CPU, 2.83GHz to the motherboard.
    Regards Lillemester :-)

  • Can my Intel DP965LT motherboard Core2 Duo Processor support / intsall for Mac OX S 10.6 snow leopard?

    Hi, I have intel DP965LT Motherboard, Core2 duo processor with Nvidia Geforce 9600 graphic card now. I would like to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6. Can my intel spec support Mac OS X Snow Leopard / Lion version?
    Please guide me, thanks !

    We can't advise how to install OS X onto a Windows PC.
    It's against the EULA to install OS X onto anything but a Apple Macintosh computer.
    It is possible and there are websites dedicated to teaching you how, but it's a real pain and you have to trust unknown sources for your software to do so.
    Then there is the probem of third party software, as OS X evolves and changes, developers attempt to keep up and drop older versions of their software.
    Also Apple drops support for older OS X versions and only provides updates via AppleID on newer ones, so your now getting your security fixes from unknown sources instead of from Apple directly.
    So it's a short term hobby I'd say you would have another year, then your seriously left behind unless you buy a real Mac and with OS X installed.
    If your running Windows XP, Windows 7 is a nice piece of work and Windows 8 Pro can be downgraded to Windows 7.
    With Windows you get support for a decade, so Windows 7 will get support until 2020.
    Apple's OS X changes every year or two, so your constantly changing your machine to keep up, so you won't find any peace running OS X on a PC.
    Good Luck

  • DVDSP 3 on PowerMac G5 Quad Processor

    Hi,
    I have installed DVDSP 3 with the upgrades on my PowerMac G5 (Quad Processor) running OSX 10.5.8. The installations runs smoothly without error.
    However, when using DVDSP3 it crashes frequently. Sometimes when I try to preview the project or when working with assets.
    I tried installing DVDSP3 on a bootable external drive running Tiger (same computer), but encountered the same problems.
    Has anybody had any success running DVDSP3 on G5 hardware? Especially a quad- processor model?
    I installed the product on my G4 (450MHz AGP graphics) and it runs fine (no crashes) albeit slow.
    SyB

    do a clean install:
    back up work files to CD or external drive
    insert the Mac OS install CD and select clean install from options menu
    this formats the drive and installs the Mac OS
    copy over the saved workfiles
    re-install applications from original discs
    up date as necessary
    takes about an hour and a half
