Blender 2.92.0 Alpha January 03, 00:19:19- c7e92e379d62 macOS 64 bit 188.48MB New Features and Changes Alternatively, download the official release, Blender 2.7 or experimental branches. Blender 2.8 Shortcut Keys Cheat Sheet Blender is a vast multi-purpose program designed to do some very complex things. Luckily for us the creators simplified the interface and squeezed most commands into shortcut key and mouse button combinations. Granted there is a steep learning curve but once mastered you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about. The Mac OS Sierra Download is the most advanced MacOS ever and is packed with several features never seen before. It also improves files storage and security of your mac. Finally, we come to an end to this guide on Download of the Apple MacOS 10.12 Sierra.
Anything from Apple's download servers is an update, and not a full installer for that version of the operating system. The only full upgrade installers are in the Mac App Store, and here is the link to How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra.
Before you leap from Yosemite, check the specific printer/scanner vendor driver sites to verify if either have High Sierra driver support. Also check with your third-party applications vendor sites that their applications remain compatible with High Sierra, and preferably, are 64-bit applications. Although the vendor sites are the last word on application support, you may find RoaringApps helpful too.
I would also recommend the following:
- Download and run the free Malwarebytes for Mac before any upgrade to see if any malware presently exists on your Mac, and if found, can be removed. Subscription for continued realtime features is purely optional.
- Boot into Yosemite Recovery (⌘-R) and run Disk Utility First Aid on your startup drive.
- Perform one last Time Machine backup before the upgrade.

There is an earlier article by Dan Knight about CPU upgrades in the 2007 iMac that omits a few possible upgrades. This article is predominantly aimed at helping people get a “Penryn” Core 2 Duo CPU into their Early 2007 iMac, as the chipset does allow several “newer” CPU upgrades.
The primary purpose the newer “Penryn” chips serve is not only an increase in performance, but also the added ability to run macOS 10.13 High Sierra. High Sierra requires a newer Mac by default, but it also requires SSE 4.2, which is not present in 2007 iMacs by default.
However, with the right CPU upgrades, High Sierra can be installed.
The chipset doesn’t see the numbers just right, the 700 MHz is merely a misnomer, nothing more!
Original CPUs from 2007 iMacs
- 2.0 GHz Mid 2007 20″ iMac
- 2.4 GHz Mid 2007 20″and 24″ iMacs
- 2.8 GHz Core 2 Extreme Mid 2007 24″ iMac
Newer ‘Penryn’ CPUs That 2007 iMacs Can Use
- T9300 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo (~$15-20 on eBay at time of article)
- T9500 2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo (~$45-60 on eBay at time of article)
Note: These two are literally the same chips that are found in the Early 2008 MacBook Pro. The T8300 (2.4 GHz variant) and other T8xxx chips will not work in your 2007 iMac; only the two listed above, the T9300 and T9500. This is due to the chipset.
How to Install and Use Your New CPU
- I will not instruct you on how to take apart the iMac. There are plenty of guides on this, such as this one.
- Have your new T9300/T9500 CPU ready.

This is a picture of the T9500 I purchased and used, for reference.

The Final Result
- After reassembling everything, the iMac chimes right away and has no issues booting up. This CPU upgrade should work just fine if you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard or newer installed (some revisions of Leopard came before the T9300/9500 CPUs were released, so let’s not run that risk).
- If you’re using a T9300, the system will misrepresent it as a 600 MHz CPU, and if it’s a T9500 (like mine) it will show up as 700 MHz (the chipset can use the CPU but doesn’t properly address it, because the CPUs we installed were made later than the chipset was)
- If the CPU “MHz” bothers you, look below, and rest assured. I benched this, and it’s legitimately quite a bit faster!
- You may also change up the info, by reading these instructions.
All in all, my iMac runs about 25% faster, and now that it has SSE 4.2, I can use Collin Mistr’s patcher tool to install macOS 10.12 Sierra and later!
