Identifying Your Computer's Processor We provide support for every Macintosh ever made at MacVerve, be it an old classic Macintosh to a brand new Mac Pro. We provide support in categories of processors, so to get support you need to know the processor of your Macintosh computer. For some, finding the processor is second nature and is easy as pie, for some it's very confusing. This little guide will help you find the processor of your Macintosh computer so you can get the support you need for your computer. Method #1: Click on the Apple on the menubar. From it, select "About This Mac." On the window that appears, you will see a line of text saying either Intel or PowerPC in it. Method #2: The free application called MacTracker can help you identify your Mac's processor, it can even be ran on Windows or Linux. If your computer isn't running, or your operating system isn't booting use the method below to determine what processor your Macintosh has. Method #3: If your computer can only run Mac OS X, and doesn't include Classic, you have an Intel Macintosh. If your computer runs Mac OS 9.2 or 9.1 (some computers don't support 9.2), or older, or if you can run Mac OS 9.2 in classic mode under Mac OS X, you most certainly have a PowerPC processor. Please note, however that some later PowerPC processors can't run Mac OS 9 natively, but can run it under classic in OS 9. Computers that run Mac OS 9.1 or lower (the ones that usually run System 7.5 or Mac OS 8 but can't run 9.2 or X are pre-G3 PowerMacs. If your computer can only run on System 7, then you have a Motorola 680x0. This is to avoid troubles on where to post your support thread, if you still can't figure it out please PM an administrator or staff member with a full description of your computer and possibly a picture. |
