    Hello,

    I couldn't get my processor to show up correctly in 10.6 under about this mac. I found a post over at insanelymac that fixed it:

    http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... 775&st=120 (post #157. Thanks JaCoder)

    Here's how to do it:

    1. Save the attached "aboutthismac.txt" to your desktop. Then run the following in terminal:

    sudo -s
    [enter password]
    mv ~/Desktop/aboutthismac.txt ~/Desktop/AboutThisMac.strings
    cp -R ~/Desktop/AboutThisMac.strings /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/

    2. Run the attached installer.

    If anyone else has a better suggestion/method, please share.
