heads ppl thinking of upgrading. 2600 cpu can work in ml. if want use others 2600 i7 k or 2700 i7k won't able boot ml can boot lion.
noticed hackerwayne using 3770s not 3770. can have confirmation 3770s can work? specs showing should 3.4 3770s 3.1 ghz doesn't still match up. hmmm i'll take pinch of salt.
