[QUOTE="trademark, post: 1213219, member: 30066"] You havn't searched hard enough then. :) I know of a couple of people who have tried core2duo to core2quad on older iMacs with no success, a couple of clarkdale to lynnfield with no success, but have not heard of lynnfield to lynnfield, although the link I provided is one success story of lynnfield to lynnfield. To op: if you'er only 15 you might not want to spend that kind of money on just a more powerful lynnfield over the one you already have! It might be a painful process trying to return it if for some reason it doesn't work. If you're looking for raw speed gains in your computer, an SSD will both be safer, easier and more noticeable. It also won't void your warranty by removing that sticker. [/QUOTE]
