DrFruit Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi all, Can anyone help sort out an incorrectly detected cpu issue in the system profiler? I have a E6300 duo core 2 1.87ghz cpu but it's coming up as an Intel Core 2 solo? Is their a kext that i can replace or does this require a plist edit of some kind? Specs as per signature below... cheers all, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komeet Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 try the SMBIOS.kext from here: http://my.macdotnub.info/content/view/19/26/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFruit Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 hiya, I have downloaded the default AppleSMBIOS.kext from that link you posted. I copied to the extensions folder then did a chmod 755 then a chown root:wheel on that kext, rebooted and it still shows the same cpu (intel core solo), memory is still correct and all apps etc still function correctly so that saves replacing the original one back... Should i be doing anything else prior to the next boot or have i done this correctly? Are their are other versions of this kext that you have had success with? regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoloBear Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Please check bios settings. If systeminfo show coresolo, you might have set "limit CpuID" wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFruit Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 PoloBear: Spot on, i just disabled the Max CPUID Limit in the BIOS and all now appears correct in both 'about this mac' and the system profiler Many thanks for the tip... regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
