These number correspond to the Mac identifier number i.e. The cursor will be on a 09 and that is the start of the string that has all the different Mac models that support Night Shift. So to answer my own question, YES I would definitely say it was worth it!!! 3x U.FL female to MHF4 male plug antenna adapter cable, approx $3.- per piece, so total $9.- on ebayĪfter that all you need to do is make a custom macOS USB Installer using the macOS Sierra Patcher tool.Įverything that I bought to upgrade my iMac was $48 USD to upgrade my iMac so it would support macOS and all of its features.A compatible M.2 (NGFF) to mini PCIe adapter (also named as BCM94360CD to mini PCIe adapter), approx $4.- on ebay.An Apple Broadcom BCM943602CS (BT 4.1) combo card, approx $17.- on ebay.An Apple Broadcom BCM94360CSAX combo card, approx $10.- on ebay.The post I am pasting this from is the second post down from the question. So if you check this link out please give him the credit. I will list it here again but I am giving him all the credit. I found a post from Clemens on here Wireless Airport Card Replacement with New 802.11ac and he listed every thing we need to upgrade our iMacs. Next I did research on adding 802.11ac and bluetooth 4.0 support. That is just a little lower than the 2.50GHz but if you look at istat menus the cpu is not quite maxed out yet. I can confirm that at idle the T9300 is at 1.19GHz and at almost full throttle it is at 2.39 GHz. I thought it was a long shot but it actually worked. So I decided to add the FakeSMC.kext sensor kext that you would use in a hackintosh and installed them into /Library/Extensions and then rebuilt the cache with kext utility. But I wanted to make sure and after long hours of searching for a app that would allow me to see frequency I figured out that there must not be a way to do that natively in macOS. I assumed that with the Geekbench being the numbers that it was, I was pretty sure that it was actually running at a higher frequency than that. The T9300 is recognized as only being a 400MHz base frequency processor. I don't know a whole lot about specs for processors but I think its because the T9300 has the 6MB L2 Cache, it runs at a significantly lower temp due to lower TDP and voltage and because it has over 1 million more transistors than the X7900. Now while the T9300 Benchmarks less than the X7900, the T9300 runs macOS much smoother than the X7900 ran OS X Yosemite and El Capitan. All three of these processors have the same exact specs except for base frequency and also the X9000 TDP is 44W and not 35W like the other 2. It was $18 USD is pretty much what it came down to. I bought an E8135 for $6.00 on Ebay just to try out because it was so cheap. That is because the 7,1 iMac only supports 800 FSB. Those are the only 3 that I found that support sse4.1 AND have an 800 FSB. Pretty much, there are 3 CPU's to choose from I just assumed that with an almost 10 year old iMac there wouldn't be any processors that would support sse4.1 and work in my iMac. With the lack of support for macOS it was really starting to seem real. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't deal with it but I just assumed my time with the 2007 iMac was coming to an end. There I started to get beachballs and very jittery movements in animations. Other than running a little hot it seemed to run OS X great until I got to OS X Yosemite. I first installed it while using OS X Lion. ![]()
