wamblej Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have SL running on my D620 and I recently tried a few apps on the app store that was updated with the latest 10.6.8 update. One of the apps says it requires a 64 bit processor and it doesn't recognize mine as such. Is there a tweak I need to do to get it to realize that my core2duo is 64 bit? Thanks!

JawhnL5 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Download Chameleon Wizard, and go to org.chameleon.boot.plist, uncheck 32-bit and click Save. Reboot and install your 64 bit app Be aware that if you have an Intel graphics card, it will not work and you will lose QE/CI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wamblej Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 That is lame. Also makes me believe that the intel GMA D620 will not work with OSX Mountain Lion based on that problem. Has that been confirmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted July 18, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 18, 2012 If I'm not mistaken, there's an Intel tool for Mac that provides the CPU model. It's not at all like a CPU-Z tool, but does the job in terms of CPU identification. Then you can consult the specific pages for the CPU model/family. Wasn't it supplied as a tool in previous releases of EDP to think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wamblej Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I got it off OSX86. It looks like my processor is a T2500... which appears to be a Core Duo?! Who knew? I guess I ordered it 6 years ago and didn't think much of it - but apparently I'm running a Core Duo and not Core 2 Duo. Oddly though, Mac OSX tells me that it is 2ghz Core 2 Duo.
