Ok, I just upgraded my E6600 on my SG33G5 to a Q6600. Unfortunately, my Xbench scores are lower!?!? When I do a hardware overview of my current system, this is what I get:

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: Mac
Model Identifier: SG33
Processor Speed: 1.60 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: BOOT.EFI.V80
Serial Number: CK157KMHK5B


Do I have to reinstall the OSX?

isent a q6600 2.4 not 1.6?

Yeah it is 2.4ghz.

Anyway, I figured it out. For some reason or another, after installing the processor, it didn't get automatically set to its default multiplier and FSB settings to equal 2.4ghs. I've got it running now at 2.7ghz with a multiplier of 9 and a FSB of 300 using stock voltage.

I'll have to play around with it a bit and see if I can get it up to 3.0 ghz
