Can i upgrade the iMac[ 2010] 3.06 intel core 2 duo Processor to a Quad one ? they use the same socket ,lga 775, i know it will fit , but i dont know if it work, cuz apple In 10.6.3 YET not supports that processor BUT what happen with a KEXT or a custom extencion ? [ they use those in Hackintosh PC’s and they say they kik &^$ ] will it work that way, following the same theory ? or how can i chane the BIOS in the iMac? so it can recognize the Quad processor . 3 years ago i upgrade the processor in my old iMac intel 2.0 to a 2.8 extreme, and works like a charm. sorry for my english
Nope from where you are the next processors are the i3, 5, 7 and would require major buss and firmware support.
How about that post: Upgrade iMac Intel Core i3 CPU to Core i7
yes it will work….ive pulled the C2D and installed C2Q many times, and it shows up as a intel xeon… it most defiantly work
