q6600 in Mac Mini

[wopsang]

Would it be possible to throw in a q6600 into one of the new mac minis?

Im doubting it, I have a strong feeling it will overheat.

Sure... you could put one in there, physically speaking, but I doubt it would work.

First off, the BIOS probably wouldnt support it, the cooling probably wouldnt support it and the power supply probably couldnt keep up.

All in all, just upgrade the RAM, that will give you more boost.

maybe when the mobile version comes out...

even so it would probably require santa rosa chipset, the 945gm inside the mac mini are not compatible with quad-core processors.

Considering the mac mini's are socket m, good luck with that.

ooo there we go, I knew there was something about the socket.
