Bartboy919 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I heard that Merom will run on using the current socket in motherboards that have Yonah. I want to know how far I would have to go to get a Merom chip in here. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24881-macbook-merome/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 iMac and Mac Mini can have them upgraded because they are socketed. However MacBook and MacBook Pro have the cpu soldered directly to the board, so unless you fancy desoldering 478 pins and resoldering the merom's 478 pins back to the logic board....
