The Dell Inspiron 530 may outperform its budget competition, but the overall package leaves something to be desired.DE626645-2748-3D95-A60E-59AEC61FCF6F1.03.01

@Cheezmen
i too am trying to fix my hack to get wake-up-from-sleep.
I have an Inspiron 530. My CPU is Core 2 Quad Q9300 running at 2.5Ghz.
It is based on P35/G33 chipset.

I have tried ATI X1900 card and nvidia gt 240
I am using sleepenabler and NullCpu....kexts
arch=i386 in boot plist as I get a KP if it boots 64 bit (something about No HPET...CPU configured incorrectly...bla bla )

I had a look at your DSDT and it is very different from mine.

I can get restart to work but Shutdown just does the same as restart
Sleep hangs the 530 - i.e. does not wake up.

You seem to have made more progress than I have.

At the moment I do not really want to mess with over-clocking but just to get the basics working.
Questions: Do you know what I would have to change in my DSDT for the CPU ? secondly, will your DSDT work on my rig ?

[Wanna Hack]

For Shutdown to work properly on 530s, try turning OFF Remote Wake Up in the Power Management Setup of the BIOS.

I just got 10.6.3 working on my Dell Inspiron 530 like 30mins ago. So far, I have working onboard sound, ethernet and video. Obviously video is only 1024x768 until i get a cheap nvidia card. Front and rear usb work. The front card reader kinda works (tried a SD and Memory Stick, MS not worky). I can also shutdown and restart without issue. Haven't tried sleep yet though.

My 530 is an E4500 Core2Duo 2.20GHz.

My firewire is not working . The disk shows in system profiler but not mounted. It also does not show up in disk utility. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
