For a Mac, you're kinda stuck with what you have. To swap a new processor it's like buying a new Mac. I got my i7 dual core mbp last month and I fought apple to get the quad. Well I won lol. But if u bought it in 2009, tough luckComputerguy95 said:

I'm kinda new to the whole processor socket size and compatibility stuff. if you need any more information just let me know. Thanks

Its actually pretty fast i can have tons of programs running at once. And coming from what i had before (a Dell Inspiron E-1505 w/ 1GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo at 1.83GHz) it was the worst computer ever, i was always on the phone with dell, it went though 3 hard drives. even though there referb its like come on, this mac is 100000X better then that computer. and the plus of it is i got this mac for freeFor a Mac, you're kinda stuck with what you have.

ok thanks for that informationOnly Mac can tell you for sure what the motherboard will support, other then that it's trial and error.
maybe a faster core 2 duo?Yea I started using the Mac and I got sick of the pc's interface. Dell computers suck
Oh and the processor thing, the intel core 2 duo and the i series use different motherboards. Therefore you'll be charged quite a bit for it if you get it upgraded. Just another apple thing.
Hmm that could be a possibility. They never specified what model the core 2 duo is for the macs. Only thing it shows is the clock speed. Maybe it's worth a try to call and ask them the specifics.Computerguy95 said:maybe a faster core 2 duo?
