build Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Is there any performance benefit to having the correct cpu over unknown? Or is this just cosmetic? It worked perfect for me btw.

~pcwiz Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Its just cosmetic, doesn't affect performance in any way. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98775-about-this-mac/page/4/#findComment-784854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iced Angel Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 any body knows how I can change the model identifier ? I have a patch called "Restore_Factory_Desktop_settings" and everytime I installed this, it'd change the model identifier to "mac pro," but for now it's just showing as "Vostro 400" which is the model for my dell computer. The patch didn't reset this part. is there a way around this ? can I change it manually ? I tried this : http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...system+profiler but i cannot find the model identifier in there Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98775-about-this-mac/page/4/#findComment-798833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boba899 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi, The package doesn't seem to work for some reason.. The model (Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.20GHz) has been added to the AppleSystemInfo.strings file in place of the unknown CPU, but it still isn't showing up on the About This Mac box.. Just 3.2Ghz Unknown. Any similar problems, solutions?

damsiz Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well after a bit of trial and error I figured I would share my progress here to get more people to test it. This is just an installer that grabs your cpu info and outputs it for the "About this Mac" window. Please try it and report back, I have included support for all languages, so hopefully it works for everyone.

ernando Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 hey, this will read down name& speed from its microde and nothing more. in my case when i open the about this mac it shows the stock frequency but if i open hardware profiler it reports the real-overclocked speed- as you can see in on the picture below.so what that program does is read the data and shows it about this mac window, nothing more:) sorry for missunderstanding Gilou:) On mine, I just edit the /System/Library/CoreServices/Resources/English.lproj/AppleSystemInfo.strings, and change : "UnknownCPUKind" = "Unknown" to "UnknownCPUKind"= "Intel Core 2 Duo" which is mine. With this About This Mac always shows the correct clock speed, because I overclock my 2.53GHz E7200 to 3.33GHz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98775-about-this-mac/page/4/#findComment-924821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
