laz954 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Use seaDonkey's procedure to setup to enable dual core. Link: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=Dell+XPS+M1710 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 Regards Laz954 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51973-installed-on-dell-d620/#findComment-372250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmriggin Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 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.

kofchina Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 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. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51973-installed-on-dell-d620/#findComment-377980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
