I just bought the core duo 2.13 when the new CORE 2 DUO came out..so
I swapped it out for the bigger badder machine. (after a lil bit of hassle)
I feel like my original core duo was better. it ran overall smoother, and made its owner quite happy, as opposed to my new CORE 2 Duo 2.33.
first. the fans are wacky. one of the first few days...i was doing some med-hvy duty work, and the fans came on...and they escalated...slowly...but getting getting louder and louder as the rpms kept climbing....i ran smc fan control to see the rpms..and they were going 5500 to 6k! I just shut it down. Now they come on when im working in the med to hvy area, and they dont slow down when im done...they just stay at a loud and noticiable rpm. Anyone else experience this?
I am running smc fancontrol sometimes..but mostly i dont use it, b/c the new core 2 does run cooler at light to medium duty stuff than the core duo.
the other issue...is installation of some programs. i think its something related to java, and or quicktime but when i dbl click on instalation icon from a dmg for example it shows the double click by the icon flying at you, but thats it. nothing. this is not ALL progs i have installed..but a good few..a few that i need...
am i alone with any of these experiences?
I love os x and my mac...this is my first mac after a life of **** in pc...and even with these issues im not turning back.:spook:
