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.

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.

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.

Hi Ise123
Both 110/240V at 50 to 60HZ, using a specific cord for each country would be better than using an adapter.

HP Pavillion Dv7 1279wm cpu upgrade to Intel Core2 Extreme QX9300 Technical Question.

I made a royal error and posted this in the wrong topic first I apologize:
So... I've kept great care of my laptop and it still boots fine (im obsessive about keeping it in tip top shape) but lately its age is becoming apparent and I'm not scared to take my machine apart so... my dv 1279wm is out of warranty and cant get help (for free that is) from HP customer support regarding this issue:
I want to upgrade my cpu from its default Core 2 Duo (see signature for specs) to an Intel Core2 Extreme Quad QX9300 model.
Now i already did some homework on this matter the QX9300 is a socket P CPU and the stock CPU is also Socket P. The Chipset that came stock with my motherboard on my machine is PM45 and the QX9300 is (supposedly) compatible but i've read on other forums regarding the PM45 is that it was revised (or something like that) and that the newer PM45 chipsets can run old and new but the older PM45 chipsets cant run new (specifically Core2 Quad and Core2 Extreme Models). I want to know if the PM45 that came stock in my laptop is compatible with this CPU or Not (is my PM45 new or old)? Also I'm aware that HP locks their BIOS, I'm wondering if that'll be a problem in recognizing a new CPU (perhaps some kind of preventative measure when trying to do an upgrade for example the BIOS reads core2 quad 9100=Dont run)Thanks for reading
P.S. I'm not to worried about heating issues in fact with 4 cores the workload should be lighter per core keeping total heat lower but that's just my rationalization. Regardless, i've heard plenty of people say "why not just buy a new computer?" a seeming suggestion that upgrading the CPU is just silly or useless ( your opinion is your entitlement) but I dont think it is useless or silly (just a guy here trying to breathe new life into his first computer)
Product Name dv7-1279wm | Product Number NB253UA#ABA
Microprocessor 2.00 GHz Intel Centrino Processor Technology featuring Intel Core2 Duo Processor T6400 Microprocessor Cache 2MB L2 Cache
RAM:8Gb (upgraded) NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Network Card Integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN
Wireless Connectivity •Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN
Software
Operating System:
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1

did some final snooping around intel's website and discovered the components of the intel PM45 chipset that make the qx9300 compatible
Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9300 (12M Cache, 2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) (Configurations: 2)
Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset with 82801IEM I/O Controller Hub (ICH9EM)
# of CPUs: 1
Embedded: No
System Price: $1082
System TDP: 54.5 W
Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset with 82801IBM I/O Controller Hub (ICH9M)
# of CPUs: 1
Embedded: No
System Price: $1077
System TDP: 54.5 W
so it works with the revised chipset (82801IEM I/O controller:ICH9EM) and the old (82801IBM I/O controller:ICH9M) as well
but of course the other worry is Locked BIOS and I am NOT comfortable flashing my bios perhaps i'll find an altarnative
the next step is unlocking the BIOS without reflashing ill peruse some threads and post a thread if i cant find my answer
(edit) I'm gonna leave this thread open until I perform the upgrade myself and leave the results as the solution so anyone else with this model ( I can't be the only one lol) who is curions will know from a successful or unsuccessful upgrade lol

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 :-)

Yes it can, check CPU Support page:

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?

Can I upgrade the Intel Core Duo processor to an Intel Core Duo 2 processor in my 2005 I-mac 4,1

I have an I-Mac 4,1 from 2005-6 with the IntelCore Duo processor and would like to use Lion. I need Intel Core Duo2 to do so. Can my I-Mac be upgraded with a different processor to run Lion? I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Unfortunately, your reply didn't show up until this morning (the delays are becoming more than annoying) ......
Who is talking about a Mac Pro? I thought the OP was inquiring about their iMac's processor? Or are we being facetious (not that you would ever do that now, would you??).

System Information Shows only 1 Core instead of 2 Cores for Intel Core2 Duo CPU T9300

When i go to System information,It Displays Processor Details as Intel(TM) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9300 @2.5Ghz, 2501 Mhz, 1Core(s), 1 Logical Processor(s). I think that display is wrong, since the CPU must have 2 Cores, since it is Core2 Duo Processor. And according to Intel Specifications of Core2 Duo Processor T9300 has 2 cores and 2 Threads. My question is that Why System Information is displaying wrong information about the processor. All other information regarding RAM, Video Card is accurate. My System Configuration is "

And there is no reason to remove the battery since there is that little button you can push to clear the CMOS.
you might be amazed on how many times pushing the button it's just not enough.

I doubt I would be writing you from this machine if I had flashed it with the BIOS for the wrong board
no offense but how should i know that you don't have one more comp at home.
what was the previous problem you had with the mobo for which you needed a BIOS update?
edit: just remembered something. what PSU do you have?

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

I have a MacBook Pro that has an Intel Core Duo Processor but to upgrade to Lion OS X I need an Intel Core2 Duo. Can I upgrade?

It actually shouldn't allow you to upgrade. Your configuration should be detected and then it should reject your attempt to upgrade.

How do I upgrade OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac with Intel duo core processor

I have an iMac 24" with 2,16 Ghz Intel Core Duo processor and 2Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM running on OS X 10.5.8 to Lion?
I know I have to upgrade first to snowleopard???
If so SnowLeopard is not available in the iCentres etc.
What to do??
Brgds,
Nils

Your iMac is a Core 2 Duo not a Core Duo according to this http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-24-inch-sp ecs.html
Which is good since the specifications for OSX Lion require a Core 2 Duo as minimum processor:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
The road to OSX Lion requires you to have OSX Snow Leopard before which can be bought from Apples Online Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA but is not avaiable as a download.
After installation of OSX Snow Leopard and installation of neccessary updates to it you can then use the Mac App Store to buy OSX Lion and install it.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
For OSX Lion an upgrade of your RAM to 4GB might be advisable.
