Mac os thinks i have a mac mini,,,?
Yeah after about 6-7 hours of installing and re-installing mac os x using Empire EFI for i7 set-ups i finally managed to make it work. Everything works normal, fixed the sound problem and also the GPU stuff... now what puzzles me is this: when i go to system info it sais that i have a 2.7Ghz mac mini... is this normal? or is something that i sould do to make my mac os read my cpu as an i7 920? Cheers mates.
