CeleronPopsicle Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 A friend of Mine has a Mac Mini with the 1.5 GHz Core Solo CPU. It's too slow for him and he said he'd sell it to me disgustingly cheap. I have a 2.5 GHz Dual Core Celeron e3300 CPU laying around that I had bought for a hackintosh project. But now I'm thinking that it would make a great upgrade to the Mac Mini. I'm thinking that it should work since they are both socket 775 CPUs. I've seen some Mac Mini Processor upgrade tutorials on line and it looks pretty easy to do. I use a Dual core Celeron e1500 CPU in my current hackintosh. Snow Leopard recognizes it as a Core 2 Duo at the correct clock speed of 2.2 GHz per core. It is pretty snappy and makes a great general purpose mac / Media Center. Any thoughts?
