cheviot Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yes, I know you can edit the About This Mac to show whatever text you'd like in the spot for processor. What I'm wondering is if it's possible to add processor names to the big list of processors Mac OS uses to populate the About This Mac and System Analyzer processor name fields.

cheviot Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Oh well, looks like I get to answer my own question. The values for processor type are hardcoded into the loginwindow.app. It appears to be a non-trivial exercise to add or replace processor types. The following processor names are included in loginwindow: Intel Core Solo Intel Core Duo Intel Core 2 Solo Intel Core 2 Duo Single-Core Intel Xeon Dual-Core Intel Xeon Unknown Intel Xeon Quad-Core Intel Xeon PowerPC PowerPC 601 PowerPC 602 PowerPC 603 PowerPC 603e PowerPC 603ev PowerPC 604 PowerPC 604e PowerPC 620 PowerPC G3 PowerPC 750 PowerPC G4 PowerPC 7400 PowerPC 7450 PowerPC G5 PowerPC 970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
