OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mac Book Pro, 2006 With An 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor?

Jun 15, 2012

Apple keep telling me I need to update to icloud but I'm not sure if Lion will work on my Mac. I've upgraded to snow leopard which seems to have knackered my .me or .mac account (whatever it's called now), so I don't seem to have any option but to upgrade to Lion if I every want to see my emails again. Apple say I must have a Intel Core 2 processor for Lion to work. at least I think that's what they say. I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion?

Intel Mac :: Install A SATAII / SATAIII SSD In An 2.16 C2D 2006?

Apr 20, 2012

As the title suggests, I am after info on anyone who has a 2.16Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac and has upgraded the hard drive to be a SSD. My iMac is going in for repair this weekend due to a broken power supply, I had the original 500GB hard drive taken out, but I'm thinking about upgrading the hard drive to an SSD, however as the current SSD's are SATA-III I'm not sure if it would work. Ideally I would like to keep the 500GB hard drive in there as well as the SSD.

IMac :: Which One Is Better/an 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Or An 2.8 GHz Intel Quad Core?

Dec 18, 2009

first, I didn�t know if this thread should be here or in Buying Tips, but anyway. My doubt is about the brand new 27� iMac�s processor, If I should buy a more GHz one, but with only two cores, or should I buy little bit less GHz one, but with four cores.

It really worth pay $200 more? It really worth the four cores? My main needs are run CS4, some Final Cut, maybe Logic Studio, and switch between different OS's (OS X, Windows, and Linux). I think even a 21.5� model would be more than enough, but I just wonder If Quad Core gonna give me more power (I hope so).

MacBook Pro :: Late 2006 / Early 2007 15" C2D - Create Bootcamp Partition And Install Windows XP

If you have a late 2006/Early 2007 Core2Duo Macbook Pro (ideally UK-bought 2.33GHz), could you please attempt to do the following: Create a bootcamp partition and install Windows XP pro Install all the relevant updates to your bootcamp partition including Apple bootcamp utility updates Attempt to reboot from windows, either to OSX or back into windows again Let me know the result. I'm trying to investigate if there is an inherent fault in this batch of machines, as mine cannot successfully do this, and i think Apple have a case to answer for, though i may be wrong...

MacBook :: Core Duo Max RAM / Install Single 2gb Stick Into Working Slot?

I have a 2006 Macbook with a "Core Duo" processor. When I got it, one of the RAM slots was busted, so I put a 1gb stick in the working one to add a little speed. My question is, since the maximum RAM in this model macbook is 2gb, would it be possible to install a single 2gb stick into the working slot?

MacBook Pro :: Differences Between Core 2 Duo / Core I5 And Core I7?

Dec 4, 2010

I see the numbers of everything from Core 2 Duo, to the slightly faster and cooler Core i3, to the supposedly faster core i5s and i7s. The benchmarks go up accordingly, but I found this does not always equate in a faster experience on most tasks.

Here's my experience so far on processor upgrade:

In one computer trade school re-certification class I am in, we are working with Windows Server 2003 on a Quad Xeon platform and it's incredibly slow.

But in a previous class we had the previous generation server edition on older Xeons, and while not fast, it was much better. On paper the newer multi-core Xeons should have made a difference, but could 2003 server software be that much more bloated than the previous Windows server edition that it would stall like that and make us wish we had the older setup?

I am going to try out the Adobe CS lab and put the new high end Dells to the test there and see if they work better than when we had an older CS version on older Xeon equipped Dells.

I don't know if this is something to do with Dell, or if Apple's increasing processor bumps/generations are going to similarly not make a difference in the speed things appear to go at, whether it's Adobe stuff, server stuff, or anything else that needs power.

I know somebody who plans on a Core 2 Duo, i5 or i7 MBP and I was wondering if the higher end processor is worth it in that case (iMovie being the main program of use).

Mac Pro :: Can Install Windows 64 Bit On 8-core

Feb 8, 2008

My lab wants to get a desktop PC that can run Windows XP 64 bit edition and take advantage of as much RAM and processing power as possible for 3-D modeling. I don't have too much experience with WinXP 64 bit edition, but I am wondering if any mac pro owners out there that have an updated box w/8 cores and lots of RAM do have WinXP 64 bit edition can answer my questions:

1. What is the bootcamp experience like (with regard to drivers, etc)?
2. Can WinXP take advantage of all 8 processors?
3. Can WinXP take advantage of up to 16GB of RAM?

I can upgrade the memory to 3GB, but wanted to know from other users out there if Adobe CS5 will be super slow or could even work ok with my laptop? I'm trying to save a little money and time before purchasing a new intel desktop.

MacBook Pro :: Getting 2006 MacBook Pro To Work With Intel SSD?

Dec 1, 2010

It's been a while since I was last here but I've come to you guys requesting some help.

I have a 2006 MacBook pro that I've been trying to install a new Intel X18-M 80Gb SSD in, to no avail.

The main problem is that when I pop in the Leopard installer and boot up into it, the disk is not recognized by Disk Utility or even in System Profiler, same thing happens when I connect the SSD via USB while running OSX.

I know the drive is not dead as I can see it in Windows and use it perfectly. I've tried formatting it to NTFS, FAT32, and HFS+ then putting it in the MacBook but it still refuses to see it. I made sure to set it as a GUID partition and I still see nothing in the Installer or even OSX.

I know the drive is SATA II standard (3Gb/s) and my MacBook only has SATA I (1.5Gb/s) so I'm not sure if that means it's a lost cause or if I can do anything about it.

MacBook Pro :: 13" MBPs - Core 2 Duo Versus Core I3 Processors

Apr 18, 2010

There's a lot of people wondering if the 13" MBPs would have been a lot better with a Core i3 processor, but everything has been just hangups over perceived old vs. new technology, and really the only thing the Core i3 adds is Hyper-Threading, but it doesn't have Turbo Boost, which helps the Core i5/i7s tremendously. Let's compare using Geekbench since it is cross-platform and one of the few available sources of info...

Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz (~3362)

[URL]

vs.

Core i3 330m 2.13GHz (~3472)

[URL]

Core 2 Duo P8800 2.66GHz (~3700)

[URL]

vs.

Core i3 350m 2.26GHz (~3680)

[URL]

As you can see in both cases, the difference is pretty minimal indeed, and in single threaded applications, the C2D will easily outdo the Core i3 which lacks Turbo Boost and runs at lower clock rates.

And you get a 320M instead of Intel HD graphics with the new 13".

The Geekbench results from the old 15/17" to the new 15/17" are quite an order of magnitude better.

So unless people are expecting Core i5 processors in the 13", sticking to the C2D was actually a good decision, and given the differences between 2.4 and 2.53 isn't so large, one is far better buying the base 13" and then putting the money saved towards a good 7.2k HDD or SSD.

Note - I took averages of the 32-bit numbers and added them.

Note 2 - The C2D Pxxxx are 25W TDP processors, which are more efficient than the Core i3 which are 35W TDP processors. Less heat, better battery life from C2Ds.
