connor.milligan Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Sorry to do this, but i kind of need an answer fairly soon, the item runs out on eBay in about 6 hours, so if I don't get an answer soon, i might not be able to buy it so if anyone can shed some light on the situation i would be very thankful. sorry to bother you guys thanks anyway connor Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/138561-can-leopard-be-installed-on-del-d630/#findComment-980700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatlyna Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Yes it works well on a D630. I installed using iAtkos 4i. There is a tutorial on the site somewhere outlinging the steps to install. Only thing you may want to change is wireless card from an Intel based one to a Broadcom, although I used a Buffalo 54G PCMCIA wireless card in the slot which happened to be a Broadcom shipset and was seen as an Airport card.

TjLaZer Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I just installed using the iATKOS v4.1 and it works well, even updated it to 10.5.5. Reboot/shutdown does not work, but everything else works well. I ended up buying a Dell 1390 WiFi card from ebay for $10 shipped and it works as an airport out the box. Great little laptop for OS X!
