ntloser Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I have been using XP as a digital studio and a an HD recorder, (grabbing the HD stream from cable boxes over firewire). The I heard about the hackntosh and went that route. But not everything worked perfect. Especially the Raid Array. So I broke down and got a new Mac Mini with 2 ram slots and the core 2 duo. Can I drop a quad core in there or would it get too hot? What about the power supply. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Power supply wouldn't be able to handle a quad core at full load. Also, It's a socket 478 board. Do they even make quads for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntloser Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Really? Socket 478? I didn't even know they made Core 2 Duos that were socket 478. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asap18 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 it is 479 == laptop socket for merom. No quad cores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
