SAMEH209 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hello there,My current system is:M.B: Gigabyte G41-MT-S2PCPU: Intel Core2Duo E7500 2.93GHZGPU: AMD 5570 1GBRam: 4GB Kingstone DDR3I've tried Yosemite a couple of months ago, but it was pretty laggy so I switched back to Windows.Now I wanna know if I upgrade my CPU to Intel Core i3-530 2.93GHZ and leave the rest as is, will the system run smoothly without lag? (I know the GPU is {censored}, but I don't do heavy graphics work..just some Photoshop/Illustrator every now and then and I have a PS4 for gaming so I just use my PC for internet, watching movies and anime, and work (Web Developer))Thanks in advance.

Allan Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hmmm. With AMD 5570, i just see working in Mountain Lion, not sure about Yosemite. And with (Core i3-530) Intel HD, Yosemite works: [GUIDE] 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics QE/CI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Oops sorry. No bro, Intel HD is for simple things, like videos, navigate in internet, etc... Pay attention in what i said: "With AMD 5570, i just see working in Mountain Lion, not sure about Yosemite." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but you said that i3's integrated GPU runs Yosemite so it's basically better than the 5570 which only works with mountain lion as you mentioned.

Allan Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 "...not sure about Yosemite." Means that i have not see anyone using this video in Yosemite. For you to make sure if it will work or not, you can test, or research more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will ML do for now? (Is that "Sketch" web design app compatible with it for instance?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hmmm, a big difference? Will depend on your usage. Sketch 3 is only for OS X 10.9x You need search for older versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
