Hey folks,

 

 a few years ago i installed the iAtkos L2 on a super micro x7dal  dual xeon e5420 ( non- hyper threaded) ; everything worked fine.  I recently upgraded hardware to a super micro x8dti-ln4 with dual x5670's ( hyper threading capable cpu).   Since i had a bunch of stuff installed and configured for the original hardware, I moved the HD as is to the "new" hardware and it booted just fine; however, the mac designation is still "mac pro early 2008" and only 12 cores (2 x 6 core cpus) showing up.   The "new" cpus are hyperthread capable and the macosx should show 24 cores under the cpu usage window.  

 

My question is how do i update the SMBios (or which ever) to:

 

1)  enable hyperthreading of the new xeon  X5670's

 

2)  show that this is a macpro 4,1 or 5,1  late 2010 

 

 

thanks in advance
