Assuming your starting from the very beginning...
* You MUST set single core mode in bios! * http://www.novicee.com/edu/Speedstep.zip *** ALL CREDIT FOR THIS WONDERFUL PACK IS PAID TO http://minsong79.tistory.com/10. I have Modified it for the D620 specifically, but original pack was found there! *** 11. Follow the instructions included in the zip file below, using the files included below BUT WAIT, THERES POTENTIALLY MORE! You can feel free to get software updates from the built in apple software updated, however if you install the 'Leopard Graphics Pack' that it tells you you should your computer will no longer boot correctly! Uh oh! You have two choices here now. 1. Dont Download it. Ill assume your an adventurous guy (hey, i hope you are 1. Backup your AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext file located in System/Library/Extensions (simply dragging it to your desktop will work fine. Infact, ill be assuming thats what you did below...) CODE
/sbin/mount -uw/
6. Now type the following (this is assuming you simply dragged the FrameBuffer.kext to your desktop before: CODE
sudo cp -r /Users/(Your username here)/Desktop/AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext /System/Library/Extensions
It will ask for your password. Enter it. 7. Type exit and thats it. Your done! Youll now be booting into a Dell D620 that in every way acts just like a mac (except its single core only!) Addendum: "But Cali3350, i dual boot and HATE having to toggle single core/multi core in my bios every time i change OS's!" Thats ok, we can fix that too! When your booted into your nice OSX installation, open up terminal (search for it in spotlight) and then enter the following code: CODE
sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
Find where it says: And there, were done. Now go into your bios and select dual core mode and leave it there. Boot into OSX it will only use single core, any other OS has all cores open to them. |
