Hello everybody,
I got in possession of a Mac Mini Core Duo 1,83GHZ, 2GB RAM and a mere 80GB HD which I might upgrade, I'd like to use it for simple tasks but I still would like to install at least 10.7 which now is not allowed, I guess (maybe and also) cos of the EFI firmware reporting MacMini 1.1.
Is there a way to force installing 10.7 (dunno if it is going to be of any help in synching informations across my other Macs through MobileMe/iCloud) and/or update the firmware?
Also, I read this machine hosts the cpu on a socket and should be no difficult to replace it, CoreDuo 2 2.16GHZ are quite cheap, would be a nice upgrade allowing also to run some basic photo editing (I connected the Mini to my old but beautiful CinemaDisplay HD 23").
Thank you for your attention and your hints
Giovanni
