Upgrade Your Core Duo iMac to Core 2

MacLife's Niko Coucouvanis reports:

"Here's how to replace the Core Duo proccessor in your original Intel-based iMac with a spanking new Core 2 Duo - but be forewarned: This upgrade is not for the faint of heart.

"Just as the disclaimer for Jackass: The Movie says: This stunt was performed by a professional, so neither you nor your dumb buddies should try anything shown in this how-to.

"So you jumped on the Intel-Mac bandwagon too soon and now your Core Duo-equipped iMac feels inadequate? We're here for you, friend, with a step-by-step guide for something that, in retrospect, we'd actually recommend you don't try: replacing your iMac's Core Duo processor with a Core 2 Duo chip."

Benchmarks are on page two.

From the Guide, "The new base station is amazing. We achieved a 10x performance boost, and a 3x usable range increase!" We achieved over 9 MB/s in short range lab testing with a MacBook Pro. Long range testing was equally impressive. At 300 feet (with a building in the way), we reached transfer rates of 500 KB/s.

Home Editions of Windows Vista Not Allowed on Virtual Machines

InformationWeek's Paul McDougall reports:

"Mac owners and Linux users hoping to run Windows Vista using virtual machine software had better own the Business or Ultimate editions of the new operating system, according to Microsoft's licensing terms.

"The end-user license agreements governing both the Home Basic and Home Premium editions of the OS specifically forbid users from booting the software 'within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system.' The blanket prohibitions don't apply to the higher-end editions of Windows Vista....

"In his blog, Parallels head of marketing Ben Rudolph says the licensing policy could cost Microsoft some new customers...."

Even Windows users who want to use virtualization are only authorized to do so with Vista Business and Ultimate. dk

Intel May Not Launch 45nm Desktop CPUs until 2008

The Register's Tony Smith reports:

"Intel may claim its 45nm processors will be in production in H2, but it appears desktop chips may not actually launch until Q1 2008, if the latest roadmap to leak out of the chip giant is to be believed.

"Intel has two 45nm CPUs in the pipeline: 'Yorkfield', the sucessor to today's four-core Core 2 Extreme and Core 2 Quad, and 'Wolfdale', the future Core 2 Duo. According to a roadmap published by Japanese-language site PCWatch, all both chips do not appear until Q1 2008.

"Yorkfield and Wolfdale are derived from 'Penryn', Intel's 45nm Core 2 architecture. It's not only a die-shrink of the 65nm 'Conroe', but incorporates a variety of architectural tweaks and introduces SSE4 instructions. It's also been suggested the chip re-enables HyperThreading, missing from Intel's main desktop processors since the Pentium era."

DasBoot Creates Bootable Diagnostics Drive

PR: DasBoot allows you to take any third party boot CD and create a bootable diagnostic device that contains any of your own utilities you may wish to install.

Do you have a shiny new iPod in your pocket? Or perhaps a flash drive or small portable hard drive? Now you can turn it into a Mac OS X diagnostic, repair, and maintenance tool. DasBoot allows you to take any third party boot CD (such as those shipped by SubRosaSoft.com Inc, Prosoft Engineering Inc, Alsoft Inc, or Micromat Inc) and quickly create a bootable diagnostic device that contains any of your own utilities you may wish to install.

You can use your iPod to boot and repair Mac OS X computers* as needed without erasing it and taking away your ability to play music. With the help of DasBoot you get to carry all the tools you'll need with you. But unlike expensive third party alternatives, you'll have plenty of space left over in case you need to recover data.

Turn your iPod into a bootable toolkit.

DasBoot devices run software much faster than a CD/DVD repair disk. In addition you can re-configure the device at any time to add new utilities, updated versions of software or newer versions of Mac OS X.

SubRosaSoft DasBoot helps you build a pocket-sized toolkit for your Mac - just the way you want it - and it's totally free !! Just plug it in and all your tools will be at your fingertips.

iSoftPhone: An iPhone on Your Desktop Today

PR: Macworld is over for another year and ever since we got back to our desks, we have been hard at work on our iSoftPhone. While we were there, we told everyone about the exciting features we are adding to this completely new software. Now we are ready to roll them out!

Quite simply iSoftPhone is an easy to use Internet phone for Mac OS X using VoIP to provide full compatibility and crystal clear voice quality in an attractively sleek interface. The quick one-step configuration will allow you to get talking to other users in seconds. Simply dial the number of the person you wish to talk with or select them from the Address Book to dial their number. Create private telephone networks by using the option to add multiple SIP providers.

This is no half-baked Apple Java-compatible program nor is it a port of any Windows or Linux version. We have tried to provide some fun by making a skin which is strangely familiar to a product unveiled at the Expo. This is a pure Mac implementation for Mac users only. Therefore user experience is set on top of the powerful telephony engine.

iSoftPhone is available exclusively to Mac users for a free trial and can be later purchased from our online shop for $99 and requires a SIP account.

Data Rescue II: Emergency Hard Drive Recovery for the Mac

PR: Do you have a corrupt hard drive or one that no longer mounts? Are other tools failing to even recognize your bad drive?

Data Rescue II is the best data recovery software on the market for recovering files from a problem hard drive. Data Rescue II works when other tools fail. Data Rescue II is also completely safe to use since it does not attempt any risky repairs to the drive while its scanning. This is the safest, most powerful software to recover your hard drive. Data Rescue II is the same software used by many data recovery services!

You will need to save your recovered files to either internal hard drive, external hard drive or Firewire drive, removable media device (such as a Zip or MO), or even a network drive.

Focusing on data recovery, instead of hard drive repair, Data Rescue II will work in more cases, recover more effectively, and deliver your files in better condition than other utilities you may have tried in the past.

Data Rescue II analyzes your entire hard drive looking for your data, then it meticulously re-assembles your files and stores them to a different location.

Drive recovery in a box:

  • Recovers files from hard drives even if they fail to mount or only partially operate
  • Recovers all types of files, including their data, icons, dates, and folder hierarchy
  • Data Rescue II can now recover deleted digital pics from your camera media after you've deleted them.
  • Award-winning, even works when other utilities have failed
  • Recover your whole drive or just the files you need
  • Leaves the original disk untouched to preserve data
  • Professional results, yet easy to use

An optional emergency bootable CD is also available.*

New in version 1.1.1:

  • This version contains changes to facilitate localization to other languages.
  • Minor fixes, improvements and other changes to increase program robustness.
  • Support for booting new machines

System requirements:

  • Boot CD - Boots into Mac OS System
  • 128 MB RAM or more recommended
  • Supports HFS or HFS+ partitions
  • Requires: Mac OS X 10.2 or later
  • Data Rescue Classic also still available

System support: PPC

$99 demoware

You can use an unregistered copy (demo mode) of Data Rescue II to do a full scan. This full scan works exactly as the fully licensed version would, allowing you to see all the files that are available for recovery. However, the demo mode only allows you to recover one single file, no larger than 500k. Once you've confirmed that Data Rescue II can indeed see the files that you wish to recover you can simply purchase a copy of Data Rescue II and a serial number will be immediately sent to you via email. Because Data Rescue II will not try to modify your disk, you can test out the software without the worry of "making things worse" like you can with other disk repair utilities.
