Thanks, that's very clear!

Understood! thanks @Jake Lo

 

Besides, even if the address is shown, other info is not like in Catalina:

 

Does it mean I can't expect 100% working "Universal control", "Handoff", "Airdrop".. with this card. right ?

thanks @BogusBogey 

I'm stay with the package Jake posted here : 

 

 

almost everything works as expected, except bluetooth:

bluetooth audio works, file transfer too.  but airdrop can't detect other devices, while reversed scenario works.

 

I'm using Broadcom 94352Z from Lenovo, but it shows like this:

 

not sure is that normal in Monterey?

I just tried searching in forum for my laptop model, can't believe @Jake Lo has posted the OC EFI package. thanks a lot! I'm writing this in macOS 12.4.

Great to hear G3 series running 12.4, I've been trying some EFI supporting 12.3, but failed on 12.4.

 

would you pls. kindly share your EFI folder ? thanks!

Hi, EmlyDinEsh. I noticed that the driver require synaptics version to be 7.5+, does it include version 7.5 or not ?

 

when using VoodooPS2Controller, I have the follow output:

 

VoodooPS2Trackpad starting: Synaptics TouchPad reports type 0x47, version 7.5

 

Will that touchpad supported by your driver?

CPU T7500（2.2GHz）, SpeedStep works（from 600MHz to 2.2GHz with 200Mhz step），thanks for the article "Performance running with Fakesmc"

 

CPU

42~46℃ （idle） under windows

48~52℃ （idle）under Mavericks

 

GPU under Mavericks

65℃ （idle）

78~80℃ （10min 720P mkv）

 

FAN speed doesn't show on HWMonitor, but from the noise, I'm sure it ran at higher speed than under Windows with same workload.

 

Is the above status normal ?

MBP5,1 gives best graphics performance, whilst CPU speedstep still works as expected (no speedstep when choosing MBP3,1 profile).

 

Yes, that's also what I've noticed.

Great!

 

I've followed the guide, and the graphics performance looks much better now. 

 

But something confused is my D630 has a T7500 CPU, I think it is most similar to a MBP3,1 , why the MBP5,1 got a better performance?

 

Anyway, thanks guys!

Ok, I understand better now, I thought you were asking about increasing the on-board video memory which is not possible.

 

Anyway, if performance is not great, it's unlikely to be due to unsufficient Video memory, but more to non-optimum platform profile settings. I recommend that you read the article about "Performance Tuning with FakeSMC" in the Articles pages of the web site and adjust your laptop's settings accordingly.

 

I can tell you that I do not experience any particularly poor performance on my D630 nVidia 135M with FakeSMC v5.2.678, SMC id set at 1.33f8 and SMBIOS profile set as MacBook Pro5,1. We tested this profusely a few months ago and reached top optimal performance, including graphics performance.

 

On 64bit Mavericks 10.9, you may actually use any recent release of Kozlek's FakeSMC kext + HWMonitor app. Be cautious as the downloaded package will install the FakeSMC kext (with plugins inside) in /S/L/E. You need to move that back to /E/E and re-run myFix (full) for the kext to be used subsequently after reboot.

 

OK, thanks.  I'll have a try. 

 

BTW, I'm using FakeSMC 5.3.1100, SMBIOS has been set to MBP3,1 which I think the most similar model with D630.

No, it's not possible. The Dell manual is pretty clear about that point:

 

 

Thanks , but I got the this under windows 7(64bit)

 

Sorry for local language, I've tried to translate it into english:

 

:

I've upgraded to 10.9, but graphics performance is too bad.  the OSX report only 128M onboard VRAM,I was wondering if it possible to increase the VRAM like the TC technology under windows(the 135m can have up to about 512M or so)

 

I've read some posts that using natit.kext can make that, but it also refers to Geforce.kext, of which the mod can't be achieved due to some entry lost in 10.9.

 

Any idea?
