With intel core 2 duo it's possible more RAM? in early imac 2006
I could change the processor core duo per core 2 duo of my IMAC, that is from early 2006... the cuestion is: the description of this mac says that only works with 2 gb of ram, but with the new processor it can upgrade this RAM, per 3 or 4 gb?
Thanks for your answer
You actually were able to change the processor to a Core 2 Duo in that machine? I've only heard of one other person who did this, but it did not work too well for them. Also, they did it so they could upgrade to Lion and that did not work either: the App Store recognized the machine ID as one with a Core Duo and would not allow them to install Lion. So if you changed yours to a Core 2 Duo to get Lion, your efforts were wasted.
As for allowing for more RAM - since people do not replace processors on iMacs in general, no one here will probably be able to answer your question.

I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo, what is possible with Lion
I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo, is that possible to operate Lion with this iMac
Here is the information about downloading Lion when it is released in July.

If you don't meet these requirements, as of now, you wouldn't be able to run Lion. If anything changes, I am sure Apple will let us know.

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.

Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
I am using os x 10.4.11.
Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
Thanks...Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

I have several macs with Intel core duo 2 operating systems. All are running os x 10.6.8. Is it necessary to upgrade to Lion before upgrading to Mountain Lion when it appears this summer? Do I need to have the "base" version of 10.7 first?
This is unknown, it will be up to Apple and AFAIK they haven't announced that yet.

Can I get iCloud if I use a MacBookPro with Intel Core Duo (not Core 2)? I can't upgrade from 10.6.8 to 10.7 without a Core 2.
Lion (10.7.x) needs Core2Duo.

I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo. Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit. Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?
Hi,
the Intel Core Duo processor is a 32-bit only processor and not capable of 64-bit.
Only the Core 2 Duo and later processors are capable of 64-bit.
Sorry

I have an Imac with the Intel Core Duo Processor. Will I be able to upgrade to the new OSX Lion?
You need a Core 2 Duo or later to use Lion. You will need to install Snow Leopard in order to access the Mac App Store to download Lion when it becomes available.

Running Visual Studio 2005 on a Mac with Intel Core Duo chip?
My nephew has been teaching himself Visual Basic (Visual Studio 2005) for several months on an old, out-dated PC laptop. My sister, who knows nothing about computers and didn't want to ask for help (in case somebody tipped off my nephew) wanted to buy him a new laptop. She said the salesperson told her that he can install XP SP2 on the Mac and then run any Windows software application (including VS 2005). My nephew has been using the new laptop (Powerbook 15") for less than a week and absolutely loves it. But he doesn't know if he can actually keep it (because he needs to be able to run VS 2005). He asked me and I didn't know so I figured I'd ask.
Any chance he'll be able to install XP SP2, VS 2005, run it, code with it and compile with it (all part of VS 2005)? Or is he going to have to return it and just go back to a PC laptop?
Thanks for any information/advice you can give. I'm seeing him tomorrow so I'm hoping I'll have some good news for him.
OOTInAtlantaMy bad. It is one of the new one's. I believe it is a MacBook Pro. I think the MacBook itself only comes in 13"?? His is definitely 15" and she bought it brand new. I am pretty sure it is a MacBook Pro.
If it is, you think he'll be able to keep it and do a dual-boot thing (for using VS 2005)? Is there anything special he'll need to know?
Thanks again for any information you can give. It is very much appreciated. -

Your macbook pro has a 32 bit processor and not a 64 bit processor?
If so, i believe photoshop cs5 is the newest photoshop version that will work on your Macbook Pro.
System requirements | Photoshop
You can get a 30 day trial trial version of photoshop cs5 from here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
Also, photoshop cs through cs4 should work as well, but cs3, cs4 and cs5 will run better since cs and cs2 require Rosetta and can be kinda slow at times. -
My IMac turns off unexpectedly in both Mac & Windows mode. I've repaired disc and permissions using the Snow Leopard install disk and cleared the cache without help. Any ideas how to prevent this?
The HAT test detected no problems. Perhaps one of the peripherals, e.g., the backup disk, is causing the problem. I'll try to run the MAC without peripherals for a few days and see what happens, unless you have other suggestions.
Thanks -
