Want to change T2080 core duo to a 64bit in a 0768-A78
My current cpu is a T2080 and I want to change to 64 bit cpu (and faster processor). I have the 945GM chipset with 82802 ICH7-M/U southbrige according to CPUZ-ID.
So far I can't find any threads that make me confident a T7100 or such will work.
Anyone actually changed to64bit cpu?
Service manual fo N100 lists these C2Duos:
Intel Core 2 Duo processor
T5200(1.6GHz),
T5500(1.66GHz),
T5600(1.83GHz),
** T7200(2GHz)**
Others MAY work. I find my T5600 to be a nice balance
of speed vs price paid. ($60 US on eBay.)
I have tried 64 bit Linux Mint, and Win 7.

MacBook Core Duo vs. MacBook Core Duo 2: does it matter?
I'm poised and ready to click BUY, but I still have a couple of questions. I'm moving on from my iBook G4, to a MacBook. I thought I was ready to go for the new MacBook Core Duo 2, but then I saw the refurbished MacBook Core Duo--and a refurbished MacBook Pro for the same price as a new MacBook. Now I'm confused all over again!
So, what's the major change between Core Duo and Core Duo 2? And is it possible for the MacBook Pro to be too much computer for me? In addition to the usual Apple stuff, I use Microsoft Office 2004, Photoshop Elements 4.0, and FileMaker Pro 8.5.
One last question, is it true that the text appears smaller on the MacBook than on the iBook G4?In case anyone is interested--I ended up buying the MacBook Core Duo 2, 1.83, with an upgrade to 1MB. I was THIS CLOSE to getting the refurbished one, until I found out that the Core Duo 2 runs cooler than the original. Since I use my soon-to-be-replaced iBook on my lap 101% of the time, temperature was a huge consideration for me. In fact, when I first made the switch to a laptop, I bought a PowerBook and returned it after, oh, an HOUR of use, due to first degree burns (okay, not quite). When I called Apple, they told me that the computer was not a LAPtop, but rather a portable computer. I "ported" it right back to them.
Wish me luck with my new MacBook!!! I'll come back and let you know how it goes--good, bad, or otherwise! (I always feel like not enough people post good news...)

I just changed my core duo 27 inch for a new i7 and I notice no change at all!! actually I preferred the dual core, I think it is just a way to make people spend more money!! Quite disappointing really and I have 2000$ less in my bank account
maybe you should have informed yourself what an i7 actually is before buying.
the actual processor speed of your i7 (2.93ghz) is probably not much higher than on your C2D, maybe even lower. the main advantage of the i7 is that it uses a newer architecture, which makes other components run faster as well (RAM, for example) and that is has two additional cores (4) plus hyperthreading (8 virtual cores). so you mainly notice a difference when running multicore applications, normal, single-core applications can't use the additional cores, therefore you don't notice much of a speed difference. it has nothing to do with making people spend money, that's just a technical thing -
1st Gen Macbook Core Duo: Proper Procedure to change internal HDD
Greetings to those who read and assist me with my situation:
Just NOW getting to changing my internal HDD for my Core Duo Macbook (1st gen Blackbook 80GB) and want to make sure I naturally go about doing so correctly. I of course do not wanna lose my itunes songs and photos and other personal info, so do I just copy my HD over to an external hard drive and recopy it back to the newly installed HDD? I am obviously a novice at this and wanna do this right. Thanks in advance for help and suggestions!Jason is correct, those are the best tools for cloning the drive. I personnel use SuperDuper mostly because I have not tried CCC.
So coin toss between the two.
As far as the procedure you have some more things to think about.
It is much easier if you purchase an enclose that you can put your new drive into then clone your current drive to it. Take the new drive out of the enclosure and install into the Mac, boot and you are running. It's that easy.
If you already have a external drive that you wish to use for this process then it will need to be formatted to OSX Extended (journaled) using GUID partition table, which Disk Utility should default to.
Then you can use CCC or SuperDuper to clone you system to the external, then you install your new drive, plug the external back in and boot from it. Then you clone your external backup to the new drive.
Sound complicated? "maybe" but relatively easy.
We will be here if you need any help. If you want exact specifics ask and we can write is out here in this thread.

I have a Mac mini OS X 10.4.11, intel core duo processor (not core 2 duo), with 512 mb and 1.83 GHz processor. I only have version 9.0.3 of iTunes because it hasn't let me go higher, which I believe is because of the operating system. I want to get my purchased music from the Mac mini to a different computer (that has the latest version of iTunes) and also my iPad. The Mac mini does not meet the requirements listed to simply upgrade to snow leopard or lion. As far as I can tell. Forgive me if I am lacking here...this is new to me. What can I do to get the music transferred. I have invested alot of money over the past few years on all this music that I should be able to transfer. Thank you in advance if you can help me.
If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

I have an old macbook which is running on OS X 10.6.8. I want to make the switch from moblie me to icloud. I went to download the new OS X Lion so I can connect to the icloud and it is telling me I need a Core 2 duo. I only have a Core duo on this mac. What to do?
Unfortunately there is little you can do, Lion will not run on your machine.
However it is possible to access some features of iClould while staying with SL. If you go to iCloud you will see the web interface for the cloud.
Some but not all functionality is here. Check it out and see if it meets your needs. -

Well, my title basically asks the question that I am seeking an answer for. Im not sure what year my MB Pro is, and I cant exactly find it on the Apple site. Its a 2.16 Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. All I see (dating back to 2007,) is Intel Core 2 Duo on the apple site. Im pretty sure (but not 100% positive,) that my MB Pro is a late 2008/early 2009. Just trying to figure out if I can install LION OSX or not, since it requires atleast intel core 2 duo, and mine says I only have the intel core duo. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Core Duo is 32 bit processor and Core 2 Duo is 64 bit processor
OS X Lion, will only on 64 bit Intel processor Mac's.
The following Mac's that have 32 bit Intel “Yonah” processorsthat won't run OS X Lion.
iMac 4,1 Early (Jan-Sept) 2006 17"
iMac 4,1 Early (Jan-Sept) 2006 20"
iMac 4,2 Mid (July-Sept) 2006 17"
Mac Mini 1,1 (Feb-Sept) Early 2006
Mac Mini 1,1 (Sept-Aug) Late 2006
MacBook 1,1 13" (May-Nov 2006)
MacBook Pro 1,1 15" A1150 (Jan-May 2006)
MacBook Pro 1,2 17" A1151 (Aprl-Oct 2006)
MacBook Pro 1,1 15" A1175 (May-Oct 2006)
There is a difference between “Intel Core Duo” and “IntelCore 2 Duo” processors.

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?
I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly. There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS. There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement. If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
I have an aphorism: Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality. Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.

it,s a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo
memory 2 GB 533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
is there some kind of way i can upgrade that to a Intel Core Duo 2 processor
or is it just a batle i cant win ?You should be able to get a used or repaired MacBook 13/15-inch core2duo 2.0+GHz near
$350 or so, in working condition with some kind of limited warranty or guaranty. Companies
like macsales, wegenermedia, powerbookmedic, powermax and others offer previously
owned Macs that are not current models. Older, to vintage or obsolete; those who some-
times have the better deal on those also can repair most all Macs and have parts.
The effort to swap out a logic board (and then what? the
other parts likely won't match) isn't hardly worth the effort.
You may be able to find an early MacBook (circa 2006 to 2010 era) that needs minor work,
and troubleshoot/repair it with a DIY guide online... But that can be a gamble if you mess
up things that were not wrong in the first place, while learning on the job. It could cost plenty.
Some companies can sell you used parts, no guarantees on matching an incorrect logic
board with a diffferent build model spec computer's other original configuration. You'd do
better if you found someone selling their old MacBook Core2Duo, nearby, & could see it run.
I have a MacBook 13-inch coreduo 1.83GHz first-edition; an early core2duo won't do much
more than the coreduo. Snow Leopard is better than Lion in several ways; if you have older
software you already own that works, from the PowerPC era -- that can save you money.
Good luck in any event, & happy computing! -
I want to change my macbook hard drive to a bigger drive
I want to change my macbook hard drive to a bigger drive, its a duo core. I would like to know what make is best and where do i get the tools for it eg screwdriver, static protector . Where do I order my drive from.
Can I change my drive on this model. I'm in the uk. thanks for the helpThese are very good instructions on How to Upgrade Your MacBook's Hard Drive.
Here is the Apple DIY hard drive replacement instructions.
The only step they left out is the need for a number 8 Torx Driver to swap a shield from the old drive to the new.
Tools can be ordered on the net or check with some friends you never know what they might have. The hardest one to find will be the Torx driver but some radio shacks carry them.
OWC carries an assotment of nice drives. Check the bottom of the page in the link below.

This will give you an idea of what you need.
Here is a place in the UK you can check.

JUST Bought MacBook Pro 17-inch 2.16 Intel Core Duo and NEW to MAC's.
Like the title says I just bought a MacBook Pro and I have NEVER used Mac's in my entire life. I have always been using Windows ever since I was born. But I am heading to college and wanted a change. I was wondering if there is any quick tips or things to know about my MacBook Pro before I get it in the mail? Especially because I've been a Windows person my whole life. Also, I feel like I should have bought the Mac right before I leave for college but that's the end of August and I needed to buy this before I headed to college to test it out. I just don't want to get it and then a newer MacBook comes out. I know that no one knows for sure but do you think that will happen?
Welcome. It will be easier to answer if you say something about what you're interested in and how you might want to use the computer. There are things I do with every new Mac, but they probably wouldn't interest most people. (E.g. I go into the preferences/keyboard/modifiers and turn caps lock into control. I'm an old-time Unix guy who spends a lot of time at the command line.)
Some specific advice on taking a machine to college. This advice all applies to Macs and PCs
* make sure you have a scheme for backing up your data. I recommend using a Firewire disk. There are lots of ways to do the backup. You'll see plenty of discussions in these groups. If you don't want to buy a Firewire disk you can use other media, but generally those aren't big enough or fast enough to let you do a full backup of your machine. You'll need to locate the folders where you save files and backup just those. WIth the Mac you can do bootable backups. If you lose your disk you can actually boot off the Firewire disk and run that way until you get your disk fixed. Note that this works with Firewire but not USB. Despite the advertising, you really want to use Firewire for external disks, not USB 2.
* if you haven't done so already, get Applecare. Portables are much more likely to need repair. If you don't have Applecare the repairs can be quite expensive. Apple has pretty good service.
* make sure you bring all your distribution CDs and DVDs with you. If things go very wrong you may have to reinstall, and you'll need the media with you. (Actually this advice applies more to PCs, where you have to reinstall to recover from a variety of problems. That's less common on Macs, and if you do have to there's a neat procedure -- archive and install -- to preserve your data during a reinstall.)
* make sure you have enough memory. With your machine I recommend at least 1 GB. the default of 512 MB tends to lead to a sluggish machine.
* make sure you understand the security features of OS X. Turn on the firewall. Be careful about opening attachments and browsing to questionable sites. University networks tend to see a lot more security problems than a typical home environment, though home broadband connections are pretty dangerous these days as well.
* check out your school's acceptable use policy and network access policies.
* depending upon your discipline I might recommend installing either Boot Camp or Parallels and then installing either Windows or Linux as a secondary OS. Anyone who is serious about learning computer technology should run Linux (thought not necessarily as the primary OS).
There will always be newer models. A 2.16 GHz Core Duo should be fine for several years. Not necessarily all 4 years though. That's pushing it, particularly with a portable. -
Core Duo + Kensington PilotMouse Bluetooth weirdness
I just moved up from my old 800mHz iMac to a Core Duo mini last week. I wanted a multi-button bluetooth mouse, so I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard, and the Kensington PilotMouse Bluetooth.
The combination work fine together. Tracking is usually smooth, however the fact that my machine is under the desk makes for tracking issues on occassion when my leg gets in the way.
My problem is a bit more serious though. I pair the mouse up, it works. If the mac goes to sleep however, things get ugly. I can't wake the computer. The ethernet interface still responds to pings from my other machine, but neither keyboard nor mouse can wake it. Bluetooth Prefs are set to allow bluetooth devices to wake the machine, so this isn't the issue. Plugging in a USB keyboard doesn't appear to help at this point either, I have to power cycle the machine. (Note: this morning I turned on ssh, so I'll see if I can shell in next time this happens.) If I manually sleep the computer, things are fine, but if it sleeps on its own, I get the above behavior, and the fan is running full blast (while asleep???)
Even more annoying...the system doesn't pick up the bluetooth mouse after a reboot, and on occassion wake from sleep. After a reboot, I wait. and wait. Eventually the watchdog timer for bluetooth devices picks up and starts searching for my mouse. I have to flip the mouse over, press the button that makes the mouse discoverable, and about a minute later I have my mouse back. Changes startup time from being under a minute to almost 5 minutes. I can't imagine that this is normal behavior for a bluetooth mouse.
I'm not a computer novice. I service macs, Linux, FreeBSD, and even Windows if forced to, and have been doing so for over 10 years. I've looked through the mouse's manual, looked on Kensington's website, went through all of the Mac's bluetooth prefs and dialogues, and searched the site and disucssions, all came up blank. The one thing that really worries me though, is the Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse pane. The keyboard's name and battery strength show up, but the mouse stays blank, despite the mouse working and showing up in the bluetooth menu bar. I suspect this is simply an issue of no 3rd-party driver being available to communicate battery strength, but you would figure at least the device's name field would populate.
Is this all normal? I'm starting to wonder if the system shouldn't go back. I've already had to hard reboot this mini more in the last week than I did the entire lifespan of my iMac, which would consistently have an uptime measured in months...After a day or so of struggling, I've found solutions to 2/3 of the issues:
1. The front wire on the mainboard was loose. This has been suggested other places on the forums. If your fan is blowing constantly, this is what's wrong. Open up, seat or re-seat the cable plugged to the mainboard below the optical drive to the right.
2. To properly wake your computer from sleep and keep the mouse, press down both mouse buttons and hold for ~5 seconds. The machine will wake and remember the mouse.
I still don't have any idea of how to reboot and not lose mouse.
