![]() You will want to use a disc to install, if it's like a cMP experience at least. It had to be dual layer because the installs were just over 4GB, or whatever size, it was too big for standard DVD disc. I got dual layer DVDs and made the Win7 install disc like normal. When I was running Win7 and Win10 on a 2009 classic Mac Pro (the "cheese grater" as they're endearingly referred to as) I had to a very little bit of hoop jumping Netkas is another forum with lots of useful Mac related info, which seems you already found them. And the plethora of enthusiasts who have shared their experiences about countless random challenges that have came up during and after all these mods. CPU upgrades and all sorts of compatible hardware lists exist there. I have settled on Mojave 10.14.6 as it's the last official supported release for the cMP 5,1. Thanks to that community I learned how to hack my cMP 4,1 model to 5,1 model firmware which allowed me to use later versions of macOS. This is like the 3rd thread I've ever seen anyone make of Macs on this forum lol. To the OP, go to forums ( ) for advice on Apple products. I use the free Carbon Copy Cloner to do that job but getting an older version that supports OS 10.6 or 10.7 may be a pain.Įdit: High-five to the devs, CCC v3.5.7 for OS 10.6 and 10.7 is still available: If it boots OK, then swap 'em and you're GTG. You can easily clone the internal HDD to an external USB-connected SSD and then set that external as the boot drive in Startup Disk to make sure everything went smoothly. Still never seen one in person.īTW SATA bus is only SATA-I so you'll only see about 120MB/sec with an SSD but of course file access time will still be hugely helped by the upgrade so if you're in the case, by all means toss the HDD and install an SSD. ![]() The mini never shipped even with the T7400 so those were sought after and the T7600 was a unicorn. I did a few of these upgrades years ago but not with the iMacs, only with the Mac Minis which used the same chipset. I've never heard of being able to replace anything higher spec than a T7600 2.33GHz. I'm pretty sure those first-gen white iMacs can only run 667 MHz CPUs. ![]()
