Penryn or Santa Rosa

[jbrown]

How can I tell what my MBP is? 2007 2.4 model.

Am I right in thinking Penryn is a newer better motherboard?

cheers

it's santa rosa, and the name refers to the processor rather then the motherboard

You might have both.

You might use the Penryn CPU on the Santa Rosa platform.


At least that is what I read a minute ago on Wiki.

Yeah I realised it was the processor - and also that I may have a penryn - but how do I confirm this one way or the other.

Not an answer as such, but it'll help you figure out what's what.
