Depending on the motherboard, higher memory frequency may be supported.Has anyone tested the iMac7,1 with any of the following Socket P chips? I selected chips that were "extreme", quad core or had a clock speed higher than 2.6GHz.Ģ.53 GHz Core 2 Extreme QX9300 1066 MT/s 45 WĢ.27 GHz Core 2 Quad Q9100 1066 MT/s 45 WĢ.00 GHz Core 2 Quad Q9000 1066 MT/s 45 Wģ.07 GHz Core 2 Extreme X9100 1066 MT/s 44 WĢ.80 GHz Core 2 Extreme X9000 800 MT/s 44 WĢ.80 GHz Core 2 Extreme X7900 800 MT/s 44 WĢ.60 GHz Core 2 Extreme X7800 800 MT/s 44 WĪ Q-Spec (qualification) X9000 will boot on an iMac7,1 but will underclock the processor to 400MHz and benchmark reflects a slower processor. Types, maximum amount and channel number of RAM supported by Core 2 Duo E4600's memory controller. Some are specific to Intel only, some to AMD. Supported virtual machine optimization technologies. Processor technologies aimed at improving security, for example, by protecting against hacks. You'll probably need this information if you require some particular technology. Technological capabilities and additional instructions supported by Core 2 Duo E4600. Some can even double their declared thermals given that the motherboard allows to tune the CPU power parameters. Note that power consumption of some processors can well exceed their nominal TDP, even without overclocking. Useful when planning a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. Information on Core 2 Duo E4600 compatibility with other computer components and devices: motherboard (look for socket type), power supply unit (look for power consumption) etc. These parameters can generally indicate CPU performance, but to be more precise you have to review its test results. Basic microprocessor parameters such as number of cores, number of threads, base frequency and turbo boost clock, lithography, cache size and multiplier lock state.
