solarseed Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 i have succesfully installed leopard ..somewhat still some kinks i need to figure out.. but i have a pentium d 2.66 ghz.. i initially booted leopard on my pc becuasei have a powerbook and i was kinda upset wheni purchased leopard to find that alot of the software was written for intel. and my pentium D is still not quite up to par with leopard standards.. so my question is . Can i buy a Core Duo and install it andload leopard.. would i have to repatch the kernel or would i plug and play like windows pcs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoarthing Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 . . . if you are using a SSE3 kernel changing the CPU should go fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushupork5 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 i was wondering this as well. curently im on a SSE2 chip and ToH 10.5, but want to get a SSE3 for speed. could i swap the chips and then update to 10.5.1 that has the new kernel?
