wamblej Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 So, its 32bit only then, until you swap it out... Probably not going to swap it out on my 6 yo system . I guess I'll just live with my outdated equipment and maybe one day get a real mac. Any workaround to get an app from the app store to think my system is 64 bit? it is a simple app and I don't get why it would require 64 bit.

Administrators Leon Posted July 19, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 19, 2012 A CPU is a easy fix for your machine and it will get alot faster and generate less heat.. + you wil be able to upgrade to Lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wamblej Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Wouldn't I be better off buying a used laptop than replacing a CPU? What is the best hackintosh laptop as far as functionality and speed go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 19, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 19, 2012 Sure, our Latitude laptops are ageing machines by now, but you can get a T7200 or T7400 for about $20... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wamblej Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 My biggest problem with the proccessor upgrade is I still have the intel graphics card - which I feel is the lesser of the two. That is why I am wondering what good alternative laptops might be. Or do you guys feel that with the dell-macs the Intel is just as good as the nvidia? And wouldn't I still run into this problem??

Administrators Syonagar Posted July 20, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 20, 2012 Dear wambley, Thats true for mountain lion. The built-in intel graphics card is not supported. So yes if you can afford, do get a better and supported machine. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
