candykane Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Well after 2 years of hackintoshing i've decided to go back the a real mac. the endless reinstalls tinkering with drivers and hardware was fun but in the end... i just want a stable working machine for every day usage. nah im not going to scrap my rock solid asus P5W DH (Q6600 @ 3 GHz) but going to convert it to a windows media center/ games machine. any way back on topic: I found a nice article http://www.o0o.it/pro/ It tells about upgrading an mac pro from 4 to 8 cores. It realy sounds great so i whent out hunting for cheap quadcore xeons. I found a pair off xeons for less that 100 euro's 2 identical E5320 i just must be lucky there 1,83 GHz processor that will be over clocked to 2,33 GHz just bye tapeing of 1 pin on the cpu. (basicly the FSB gets bumped from 1000 to 1333 MHZ) So now I'm off hunting for a machine... are there any 8 core users out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
