Will the Core 2 Duo CPU work on the Qosmio G30?

Question is as follow:
In 2 months Intel will come up with Core 2 Duo/merom cpu for laptop.
Will then todays toshiba qosmio laptop support these processors for an upgrade ?
And wonder in general how much can be upgraded with toshiba laptop's?
Like if I want to have e-sata on this laptop. Maybe not supported by chipset ?

As you know this is a user-to-user forum and I don?t think that you will find somebody from Toshiba here.
However, this is my own opinion and this could be one of the reasons. I agree with you that duo core 2 CPU supports less power and generate less heat but more or less this are also properties of the intel duo core CPUs.
But I think that in the future the duo core 2 CPU will supports a higher speed as the duo core and I think the temp will also increases.
You know that the notebooks technology is different as the desktop technology and it's more difficult to upgrade the parts on the notebook as on the desktop pc. Some CPUs are also soldered on the board. (but I'm not sure about Qosmio) But if you will be able to remove it and to upgrade the CPU so then you could get some problems with BIOS and also software (chipset utility?). Maybe this could have a bad influence on the drivers and utilities.
As you see there are more factors as only the temperature. Everything must be compatible. I think the Qosmio G30 is a very nice notebook with really good performance. I think the CPU upgrade is not necessary because you will not get much more performance as with the core duo CPU.

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Trying to install 10.7 on a mac mini core duo that has a core 2 duo cpu

I have installed a core 2 duo cpu (T7200) in an earlier Mac Mini core duo machine. Runs fine, the system report shows the Core 2 chip. When I try to install 10.7 over 10.6.8, however, the installer reports that it cannot install this version of OS X on this machine.
It is possible of course to install 10.7 on another machine and clone that to the hard drive here. But that seems like the hard way, jumping through too many hoops. Surely there must be somewhere in the (list of) plist files to tell the installer that it is OK to put 10.7 on this machine. I've tried a few places but w/o success. Perhaps someone is a good system hacker who knows how to do this? Many thanks,
tony

I agree-- that is a method that is often suggested. I apologize for doing the Yes, but.... routine; I have several other Macs, but I'd have to back one up (or clone it), clear the hard drive, install 10.7 on it, and then go through your suggestion. In principle it seems straightforward. I might have to resort to that. I had hoped that it would be possible for a more software-centric way, of convincing the installer that the machine was OK; Have I missed something here?
I've tried several suggested methods, and the closest so far is to get an installation from a bootable usb stick that looks like it's installing and then I get a circle with a line across it. No error messages.
the machine is a 1,1 original that now runs fine with 2 gigs memory, a core 2 duo (T7200) cpu. and 10.6.8.
I have tried removing the lines in the plist files that require the 3,1 machines, etc. but that has not helped.
If my time was worth more than 10 cents an hour I should have thrown the sucker away and bought a new one. I have an i5 Mini that screams. any more suggestions are most welcome.
thanks

Model G70-463CL ( Intel Core 2 Duo CPU / T6500 ) suppot hardware virtualization ?
hardware virtualization is disabled !
I upgrade the bois
I entered to bois but there is no ( hardware virtualization ) to enable
plz help
thank you all

Hi:
I am looking at the BIOS setup guide for your PC series and it shows there is a VT setting under the device configuration menu for "select models." See Chapter 3 page 6.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01662442.pdf
Here are the specs on the T6500 processor. It does not support VT, which is why the VT setting cannot be enabled.

Can I run Lightroom on a PC with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU?

The specs for Lightroom state that you need a Pentium 4 processor. My PC has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 2.2Ghz. Is this sufficient?
Thanks.

Hi vc10,
You can install Lightroom on Core 2 Duo Processor.
P4 processor is the minimum system requirement for it.

Where to buy the Qosmio G30 in Greece?

Hi.I am from Greece and l would like to tell me an on line shop to buy qosmio g30,because the Authorised Service Provider tell me that he don't know if he bring it in Greece.Thanks and sorry if i make any mistake in english.

Hi
As far as I heard the Qosmio G30 is a very new unit.
But I dont see any reason why it shouldnt be possible to order or to buy this notebook in Greece.
Did you google in the net for some online shops which deal with the Toshiba notebooks?
If not so do it. Im sure you will find some good offers.

Will the Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook work with the Thunderbolt Display?

I'm looking into buying a new Thunderbolt Display, but do I need to buy a new MacBook Pro or will the Thunderbolt Display work with my Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook?

Yes. You'll need to create a Mavericks USB installer from the App Store download, and the App Store is only available with 10.6 and above, so that's a challenge for you to overcome, but that SSD will install just fine.

MBP 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo, CPU temp constant 90 degrees C at high load

I have a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo MBP. Not sure which chipset, but not Santa Rosa. I'm still running 10.5.2 because I don't want to stop the process I'm running at the moment.
Anyhow, I'm running both CPUs at full load, and the program I'm running is very SSE-heavy. iStatPro reads the CPU as running at 90 degrees C with the fans running at about 3800RPM. It's been running like this for several days straight because this is the fastest compute hardware I own. I have three PC case fans pointing at the notebook, so the exterior is relatively cool, as are the other temp readings, but the CPU temp makes me nervous. Various things I've read suggest that about 85C isn't so healthy for the processor. Is that true?
I did try calling Apple Care, but they basically blew me off, suggesting I use external cooling. I could take it to the Genius bar, but that'll be a good 3 hours of my time, so I need to make sure it's worth it.
Comments?
Thanks.

See this article regarding runaway applications:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304882
and use that technique to make sure that no other heavy applications are crashing the party. There will be a number of smaller system apps and processes running; you're looking for a big hitter that you did not want.
I hear that the MBP is good for 100°C/ 212°F. I'm a little surprised that you're getting only 3800 rpm at 90°. Fans should be able to turn up to 6000 rpm. You may wish to download smcFanControl.
I use that program to increase the resting rpm from 2000 to about 2500 to give a head-start on any heat issues. At 2500, the fans are not noticeable unless I put my ear an inch from the the computer. The program also has a quick-change setting that lets you quickly bump the fan speed to the max of 6000 if things get too hot too fast.

Core 2 Duo CPU whine.

Hi everyone.
I am close to purchasing a MacBook Core 2 Duo for my brother and I would just like to know how much of a difference there is in CPU whine between the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo MacBooks? Is the 'whine' in the C2D louder/more noticable or does it have less of an annoying noise?
Thanks in advance
Mark

I got Core Duo - my girlfriend got Core2Duo and both have the CPU whine. There is no difference in between the two - they're not too loud but get little bit worse with time. Apparently not every MacBook has this problem - so my advice to you is go ahead and buy one - and if within 14 days you're not satisfied, have it replaced or return it for refund.
Note that the CPU whine is not really that bad - that it will keep you from fully enjoying the computer. It only bothers me when I'm in dead silent room and browse the web. However - when I use Windows XP under bootcamp - there is no whine whatsoever. So when I need to browse the web - I do it on the windows side. Besides I really like the new internet explorer
Good luck with your purchase. The macbooks are a great little notebooks. I doubt that your brother will ever complain about the CPU whine - even if it is present. My girlfriend has never noticed it.

Can u put a core 2 duo cpu in a core duo MBP?

I suppose you could if you're up to de-soldering 478 very small pins to remove the old Core Duo, cleaning the contacts, and resoldering the pins of the Core 2 Duo to your logic board.

Will my 533MHz Digital Audio CPU work in my AGP Sawtooth G4?

I bought an OEM Dual 533MHz CPU to upgrade my single 533MHz in my Digital Audio Power Mac G4. I was thinking about putting the spare 533 Mhz CPU in my 400MHz AGP Graphics Sawtooth G4. The Digital Audio bus speed is 133MHz, while the AGP G4 bus runs at 100Mhz. Will it work or be downclocked slightly? Thanks in advance!

Hello Craig,
Has been done, but it's not for the faint of heart. Requires microsurgery with a soldering iron and X-acto knife to change bus multipliers and things. As-is, it would be downclocked.
It's been covered somewhere - XLR8yourmac, perhaps - and there's a guy who sells on eBay who does a lot of it - currently has a 550MHz cpu listed - handle of 'ijnujb'.
I would think you'd get more satisfactory results from a used after-market cpu, but if you like to experiment give it a try and report back.

Will the Qosmio X300-13W be overheated?

I'm thinking of buying the *X300-13w* but a guy told me not to buy because of overheating problems.
I know a quad core CPU and dual GPU produces high temperatures but I am not sure if that will damage the machine. I'm going to import it so I will have only one year warranty :(. (i) I live in a country with temperatures of 35+C in the summer. (i)
{color:#ff0000}_Do You owners of the X300 (especially of the X300-13w) face overheating problems???_{color} ?:| What do you suggest me to do?
Thanks in advance!

It IS possible it may overheat , My X300-11s with only one 9700m GTS and a core duo p8600 2,4ghz overheated when i first bought it, the GPU would run at temperatures in excess of 100C and sometimes BSOD due to it and the ambient (room) temperature would be say 19-20C
I had to open the machine and clean the core and apply AS5 to the GPU to fix it, Toshiba had put too much on and it was acting as an insulator!! Now the Temps are reasonable at 80C at full load.
There have been a lot of threads on another site i use about this laptop overheating and particularly the models with the dual 9800m GTSs .

How does Core 2 Duo works?

Hello there,
This may be a silly question and probably not the write forum to post this issues.
But since my MBP comes with the built-in Core 2 Duo - I hope it will be all right to seek for help here.
I have tried many other search regarding this matter - But I just can't seems to find answer for it. Most of them comes with technical name and informations which I don't really understand the terms they used. I have even tried to seeked help from people around my neigbourhood - Nobody seems to really know too.
My question were, what does Core 2 Duo really do? I know it's a faster processor(?). But how does it actually works? I asked this question because - it seems that only one of my core 2 duo is working very hard. Always the second one. The first one will always stays on 5% (if not mistaken) forever eventhough the second one reached up to 100% and struggling. Why is that? Wasn't it suppose to divide their work load automatically?
I don't even remember now where did I get that reading before already.
Have tried 'System Profiler', but I can't seems to find it anyway now.
Please guide me if possible.
Is there anywhere I can monitor my Core 2 Duo in action status?
And how can I have the first core to show me some sign of it is doing it's part too.
Or maybe I just got the whole Core 2 Duo idea wrongly?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Jon Gan

Hello All,
Oopss, Didn't know it only allows one 'Helpful' star at a time. Sorry guys.
Anyway, I found all your suggestion helpful.
I understand now that the Core 2 Duo are somehow smart/intelligence enough to divide work load among themself and cannot or best not to have it done manually by user. However, it just the matter of if the software/application are compatible to it or not. Or otherwise, the application running are available to such features or not as for Core 2 Duo to have it divided its work load.
But still, is there anyway we can know which software? Or when Core 2 Duo does it magic?
I understand we should be able to see it from the CPU usage from Activity Monitor.app or otherwise, IStat Pro widgets. But, I just don't really know how to study the graphs there.
What I usually gets from Activity Monitor or IStat Pro are as follow:
User:
System:
Nice:
Idle:
and lastly the graph - which I really have no idea what are all those stand for.
Care to run me through roughly if possible? Thanks.
Sorry for the inconveniences.
So in the end, I was hoping to find (if there's any) by any chances there's a software that can read the 2 cores reading in - perhaps percentage wise? or a easier understanding format which you can recommend?
For example: In Windows XP, there's a software called *Everest Home Edition* which I can read the 2 cores in percentage format. This allows me to easily monitor the cores in action while at the same time I was working on my computer. Although, I didn't really find anything yet cause I would rather just stick to Mac OS X Tiger. However, what surprise me from my testing towards the 2 cores during than period of time was that - One core always stays on 0% while the second core reaches up to 100%. They doesn't seems to divide their work flow. This is the first time I owned a Core 2 Duo processor - so with that exprerience, I really have no idea what does Core 2 Duo really do if one core is not helping the second core with it's work load. (beside being faster like everyone else said). heh heh heh Silly me right? heh heh heh
So back to Mac. I guess now, the best choice to monitor it is by using the Activity Monitor(?).
Under the CPU tab, there's a CPU Usage graph that splits into two - is that the 2 cores? The one on top is core #1 and the one of the bottom is core #2? Please guide.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,

Will the Core 2 Duo CPU work on the Qosmio G30?
