upinthecloude Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 For everybody who has the ABOUT_BOX_PROCESSOR problem, in OSX86 tools, reset the original strings, and then auto set cpu strings again. Log out and log back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartiniGuy Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks for this - I just upgraded my Gen1 Mac Pro with 2 Quad core Xeons, and neither 10.5.7 nor 10.6 showed the correct values. I can now report that your app works in BOTH. mac_pro_gen1_8_core.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alvin777 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi. Does anyone know a good installer like this like OSX86tools so that it autmatically detects any kind of changes to the memory without editing it again? By the way, this one from Eddie does not detect the overclock from 2.44 to 3.4 Q6600. I had to go back to OSX86Tools but the latest won't detect my memory right (2GB PC667 instead of 4GB PC800) if I use it's auto RAM detection (known to be buggy). Is there an alternative for OSX86Tools that's as easy to use? Gbu, Alvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
