Great great read

Dont you just hate it when that happens!
Must be the EFI/BIOS not recognising the chip properly, right?
Or is the unlocked nature of the chip confusing the board such that it manages to pick the lowest multiplier?
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
It is the fact the CPU is unlocked - it's common to happen on laptops / systems with no multiplier control.
Late next week the CPU should be here so we can try again
I hope you didn't put it back together
I'm using it now....I hope you didn't put it back together
That was a great experiment/article. Goes to show what a cakewalk upgrading your pc is.
Nice to see someone else using a Cybertool
Still can't understand why DR is not upgrading in Zero-G...
...surely gravity-assisted component-swaps is for amateurs

you know how they say that you cannot run osx on something other than a mac because of the terms and conditions of the licensing aggreement etc etc?
upgrading the cpu surely voids these conditions also? as its modifing the mac against it's mac hardware?
granted its a "upgrade" but surely like a oem you'd need a new license or it to be preformed by a mac technician?
not bitching just pondering the concept of their terms ...
the wording in the license says the computer needs to be "Apple-labeled". i don't think apple would be able to claim a computer stopped being apple-labeled if you open it up - though they'd need to send the lawyers out if someone tried claiming an apple sticker made something "apple-labeled"
just wondered if modifing an apple machine i.e. opening it yourself and manually upgrading it was against the EULA?
nope

My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
