Ciao Simone and everybody,
did you make any further CPU upgrade attempts? My iMac 7.1 24" urges a CPU upgrade, X7900 at the moment, and a choice between T9500 and X9000 has to be made. I read about upgrade to X9000 failed attempts, but:
- it's not clear if X9000 used was an S-Spec
- the original CPU was not a X7900 like mine
- macOS version on tested iMac was very old and not the newest available (10.11.6 El Capitan).
-These are details which could make a differenza between a failed and successful attempts.
+These are details which could make a difference between a failed and successful attempts.
To summarize, I'd like to know if anybody tried to upgrade an iMac 7.1 24" CPU X7900 os X El Capitan 10.11.6 system to CPU X9000 S-Spec SLAZ3.
Thanks in advance,
Marco
