![]() 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.
