I have a 1.66 Core Duo Mac Mini and basically its not up to par when running CPU intensive software. I am up for the challenge of upgrading the CPU. What is the fastest processor that I can drop on this unit considering the limitations of the existing motherboard and bus speed?

The maximum RAM on this machine is 2 GB. Upgrading the processor gains very little and costs more than it is worth plus involves heat sink and pinning problems.

I think the T7600 core2duo 2,33 ghz is the fastest cpu you can use
combined with 3gb ram would that make a pretty fast lunchbox ;-)

yes - you're right - i didn't thiught about the "not so needed" limitatio apple build into the cd models - the chipset would support 3gb - but the limited it to 2gb - the c2d models will work with 3gb
i also think that you're right about the cpu speed - but since he only asked whats possible.. ;-)
ok, it took some time to dig it up - i've read it a few years ago

yeah, but replacing core duo to a core 2 duo, allows to run LION !!!
the real problem is find a T200 / T7400
这个答案有帮助吗？
who knows. I had never heard of Lion OS at the time this question was answered last year
Spotsy, it IS possible to install Lion. To prove it, I'm typing this from a Mini that was once a 1.5 Core Solo, upgraded to 7200 and running Lion right now.
The trick is to install Lion on your drive from another (Lion-capable) machine. Either take it out and set it up temporarily as a USB drive, or remote into it using Firewire. Install Lion from the other machine, and then (crucially) go into /System/Library/CoreServices on your new Lion drive/partition, and remove the file
PlatformSupport.plist
You should then find that once back in your Mini, it boots into Lion successfully.
NOTE: do all major Lion software updates BEFORE you put the drive back in your Mini, because a major update will put the PlatformSupport.plist file back. (This is a file that tells Lion which machines NOT to install on; Apple does this as a cheap solution instead of looking for the presence of the Core 2 Duo.) Or you could put a small partition with Snow Leopard or earlier onto your drive so you can always boot into that to repair the Lion drive if it ever gets broken by an upgrade.

Thanks Kaitain sounds like a bit complicated to get lion on the mini. I am pretty happy with snow leopard and not so happy about lion on my MBP. So I'll stick with snow leopard

So long as you have another (post-2007) Mac available, it's actually really easy. But if you're running more smoothly with SL than with Lion, I can't argue with that. Me, I had to use Lion, because SL doesn't work properly with the OCZ Petrol SSD drive.
