Listing all the info like your motherboard will help people help you see if there are other choices. Any savings in price will be long gone after a couple of power bills arrive. I'm not kidding many people report not needing to use a heater in the room where the machine is running in the winter! Also they eat power for breakfast. The problem with the Pentium D chips is they are furnace room hot. They are around $50.00 and may meets some poeples needs. There are now Celeron 420 chips which are core 2 chips without the second core. It's fast clocks to 4.2 GB in my Asus P5L-MX 945 mboard. It's 3.2 GB has 512K of L2 cache and is the newer smaller 65 size chip. You also don't say which celeron cpu you have.
#PENTIUM PROCSSOR HACKINTOSH MAC OS#
MacBook Pro 13-Inch 'Core i5' 2.7 Early 2015 - 2. I want to try Mac so i want to know that Mac OS can run on the below PC spes Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5500 2.80GHz (2 CPUs) Memory: 1024MB RAM-Display Devices-Card name: Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1. Apple have used these Broadwell i5 and i7 CPUs in their 2015 Macbook Pro's. IT should work but it may require a little more work compared to an equivalent CPU that Apple have used. Personally I noticed little difference between chips w/ vt and without when running Parallels.Īre you sure your unnamed 945 mboard won't run with core 2 cpu's ? Many will work ,some with core 2 and others core 2 duo. The fact it is a Pentium CPU lends me to be a bit cautious as Apple do not use Pentium CPU's. While they lack the VT capability of more expensive c2d, the extra performance over old pentium Ds more than makes up for it. They are very good overclockers, include ssse3 that Pent Ds lack and cost less than 9xx series. Let me say first that while Ive been into the Hackintosh scene for like seven or eight years, I am still learning the ropes with some aspects such as DSDT. You'd be better off buying an E2140 or E2160 core 2 duo. But the question is: How much performance difference in Parallels (or vmware) can I expect between a D925 and a D930 (apart from VT, they are the same CPU) ? Has anyone tested both and is in a position to compare ?Īlso, can parallels make use of VT if its running on a hackintosh ? I expect quite a performance increase from moving to any of the dual-core Pentium Ds. I am running parallels at the moment but it is a bit sluggish. The older ones have intel's Virtualization Technology (VT) which intel scrapped in the newer 9x5-series CPUs. The question is, should I get a Pentium D from the 9x5 series (925, 935) or look for an older one from the 9x0 series (920, 930) on ebay. When I bought the parts I could only spring the money for a Celeron D which I'd now like to replace with a Pentium D.
#PENTIUM PROCSSOR HACKINTOSH UPGRADE#
I'm about to upgrade the CPU of my machine (based on intel 945G series Mobo).
