Crabhunter Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 My cpu is shown as a 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon in about this mac. Whilst it is showing the correct speed it is in fact a Q6600 Intel® Core™2 Quad. If I edit com.apple.Boot.plist will it make any difference apart from the displayed text. What I am trying to say is, will the OS (10.6.3) work any better/worse?

Diwad Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 No, it will only display other infos, thats all, it has nothing to do with performance as far as I know.

valv Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 No, it will only display other infos, thats all, it has nothing to do with performance as far as I know. that wasn't totally true in my case, after too much time spent trying to get vanilla speedstep working, I changed the FSB value in smbios.plist and that made the change. it finally worked. I don't know why, but it seems to me like if the values there are not only cosmetic.

Suzuka Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 It shows it as a Xeon because some apps don't like a mac pro with a core2quad Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214756-cpu-recognition/#findComment-1442676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
