Andy Machead Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have a Mac mini with a 1.66GHz Core Duo processor and a PC with a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 capable of booting OS X x86. I have considered switching to my PC with OS X x86 because my biggest issues with the Mini is hard drive space and graphics. I have looked around, what are the sockets for the P4 and the Core Duo/ Core 2 Duo? Also if I replaced the P4 with a Core 2 Duo, what besides BIOS instead of EFI would stop my PC from booting an OS X (Intel) disc normally? Thanks!

AriX Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Probably the Chip inside Intel Macs that lets the Mac know that it's a Mac and not a PC. I think it's called TPM (Trusted Platform Module?) And yes, I am the AriX from the OSX-E/worldglobeprod days, and the one that sent you a rude EMail a while ago.... Just so people know: He stole someone else's app and told people he made it!!! (Plus the App was illegal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogabean Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 The P4 and the Core Duo have different sockets. You would need a new MB as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
