https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Which-Core-2-Duo/m-p/435251#M19401 <P>I have a Mac Mini that came with a Core Duo 1.83Ghz processor. I found that the processor is easily swappable. The T7600 and T7200 will work but there are many other Intel Core 2 Duo models I've found on eBay. Is there a resource that will tell me which processors will work in my Mini?</P> Sat, 08 Jun 2013 15:09:03 GMT JHoo 2013-06-08T15:09:03Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Which-Core-2-Duo/m-p/435251#M19401 <P>I have a Mac Mini that came with a Core Duo 1.83Ghz processor.
