Hardware Specs Reported in Dispatches
Thanks but I can login, it just doesn't let me register the voucher. And when I try to buy it it says it needs an Intel Core 2 Duo, i3, i5 or i7 processor. I have my Hackintosh setup as an iMac11,1 ( 3Ghz core 2 duo) in About This Mac but somehow it knows it's not...
I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 just like you, and they support sse3.. I have no idea why quictime crashes when playing .mov and .mp4 files, but only in 64 bit mode..
