    Upgrade D620 Core Duo to Core 2 Duo?

    in The Archive

    Posted

    For D620 the max CPU to increase for replacement is T7600, which i had done it recently.

     

    Talking on heat issue, T7600 runs cooler then T5500 (old CPU)... my current T7600 normal temp 30-35 degC whereas T5500 normally stay at 40-49degC, all these info was get from the iStat Menu.

     

    Hey anyone can share if i can replace D620 with D630 heatsink? 'cause D630 comes with Northbridge and Southbridge too... i'm thinking making the laptop ever cooler.

    Have you tried the "TRIM Enabler" and are you 100% sure that TRIM is supported by the SSD ? (i have 3 x ssd, only one support TRIM

     

    Yes, i have tried the Trim Enabler 1.2 and 2.0Beta too. 100% sure the both SSD (Plextor PX-128M2P and ADATA S510) support TRIM.

    The below is the diskutil info /dev/disk0 on my SSD, there should be one more row mention " Solid Sate: Yes / NO " and it's missing from my Lion, hence maybe some drivers are missing or it can't detect my SSD due to compatible issue sad.gif

    I dont think machine support is needed for TRIM, just HD and OS.. atleast thats how i understand the specification.. try and look up your HD model number and have a look at the vendor spec

     

     

    Hi Leon, i just get hold of another SSD (Plextor PX-128M2P) installed lion on this D620 (EDP2.2) but still having same results. I guess the OS can't detect the SSD. :/

    I wonder is there anything i went wrong on lion installation ?huh.gif

     

    Any D620 Lion on SSD user out there ??

    Hi Guy,

     

    I'm wondering if many users tried out SSD on lion? I read up topics in internet that lion do support TRIM but, only on APPLE SSD.

    Hence i tried patching the Kext to remove the string "APPLE SSD" to Zero.

    But it doesn't seems to work for my SSD (ADATA S510), maybe this model is too old.

    Anyone can share your experience?

    How to install Lion on SL 10.6.8 (D430)

    in The Archive

    Yup, 2GB is minimum. Also, check your had drive.

    Lion likes the whole HD and not only one partition of it.

    Also, if HD is formated with MBR option instead of GUID option, you might see this error.

    Look in this thread at InsanelyMac forum. There is this file OSInstall.zip, which is a replacement for original one in Lion installation. It should solve this error message. Haven't tried myself though.

     

    Ok.. mine D430 is currently running on 2GB ram, and SL is running on single GUID partition too. :mellow:

    Then.....i think i need to try your given threads to see if it works... ;)

    Please advise if anything else i missed before i can install Lion.huh.gif

    Changing HDD to SSD?

    Hi ALL

     

    Current Hardware Overview: D430 Core2 with 2GB ram HDD: TOSHIBA MK6008GAH I'm still thinking of whether i should upgrade my current hdd to a SSD instead. I really find this existing hdd booting up slow.

     

    Anyone can show me a video of booting up speed if you have modded a SSD into D430 ? cool.gif

     

    Any recommendation of good brand/model that is not too expensive that can fit into D430?
