firewall Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hi to all, I am looking into buying either a dell d620 or d630. Can someone please advise which one is the better one to use every day and which version OSX would be the most suitable. Have never tried this stuff before so would appreciate any advice. Can I use macdriver 8 to format and partition usb? Can this same app copy across the dmg file to usb? Or do I need to find someone with a mac? Enjoying looking around and finding all this new information hopefully someone can help me with some of my questions. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 18, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2012 The D630 is a better machine with improved specifications (FSB speed and graphics for example). Read up the different web site pages for an overview of each model capabilities and the EDP-based installation procedure. In a nutshell: . D620 (GMA 950 & nVidia) -> Snow Leopard/Lion . D630 (GMA X3100) -> Snow Leopard/Lion . D630 (nVidia) -> Snow Leopard/Lion/Mountain Lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewall Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks Hervé for the quick reply and information. Do you have any thoughts regarding macdriver 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 18, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2012 Nope, never tried/used. I was able/lucky to start off with NawCom BootCD and SL retail DVD and never been without a Hackintosh since; so never had any problem to create a myHack USB installer...

Administrators Leon Posted November 18, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2012 I would go for a D630-nvidia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewall Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks Hervé and Leon. Dell D630-nvidia seems to offer the most choice. Thanks guys for the advice. From looking at other pages will also need a dell wireless card 1390, to get the wifi going. Thoroughly enjoying this site.
