How can i make it use the dual intel chips?

Use seaDonkey's procedure to setup to enable dual core.

In OSX, open finder -> applications -> utilities -> terminal (drag terminal icon to the dock for easy future access)

 

Open terminal and type the following:

 

 

CODEsudo –s

 

*enter password*

 

nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

Type in your password at the prompt. This opens the boot config file where we can add kernel boot flags.

 

Add the following under the <key>Kernel Flags</key> section (add this section if it doesn't exist):

 

 

CODE<string>cpus=1 platform=X86PC</string>

 

It should look like this:

 

 

CODE<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>cpus=1 platform=X86PC</string>

-Hit ctrl-o to save and enter to keep the filename.

-Press ctrl-x to exit nano.

-Exit terminal and reboot into the bios settings and re-enable multi-core threading.

 

I'm very interested in seeing how you got the Ethernet working, Wireless and Audio.

 

I have a D620 and the ethernet is grayed out as well as the Audio, and I can't get the wireless working, maybe you can help. Thanks. drop me an email laz954@hotmail.com

the cpus=1 code works and makes it stable and relatively snappy, but it on1y enables 1 core. It is a fix for dual core but does not allow full use of both cpu cores.

Hi Antoniox86123, did you get your network card work?

I've got a D620 too, and I installed Jas 10.4.8, but I can not use the NIC.

My NIC is Broadcom 5752.
