Quad core Core 2 Duo works in Mac Pro

#14: No. Quit asking >_

Is it possible to enable the Processor System Preferences item on portables?

Here's hoping that one day I get to hear Steve say "it goes to 11!"

As far as all of you seemed to be confused on the name/pronunciation of our beloved operating system, let me try to make it clear for you. Even though X was a brand new os compared to previous versions, they did not give it a fancy "matrix" type of name "OSX" or like an Acura NSX. It is quite simply the version number, 10 or X if you are roman. Remember the OS before X? It was 9. Apple is milking the X version and it will be a while before they get to OS-11, they have to go thru .6, .7, .8, .9, .9.8, .9.9 etc. When they finally hit version 11, I bet it will be OS11, and not OSXI, X is they only sexy roman numeral besides XXX, and we will all bve dead before we see Mac OS XXX.

jobs always calls it o-s-10, as do apple store employees. i think o-s-x rolls off the tongue more nicely, so thats what i call it.

excellent question though! that should be a tuaw poll!

'what do you call it? os-x, os-10, mac, vista that came out a few years ago'

It's in the Installation CD. DevApps or Developer Applications.

I am new to the Mac, and I have a quick question. Where did you get the Processors thingy for the system pref?

"This doesn't mean that you'll be able to upgrade the processors yourself..."

Why's that?

I think that'd be "Core 2 Quartet".

OS 10, not OS eX.

If you think about it, it came right after OS 9 . . .
