Pikotaro Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hello, I want to run High Sierra on my D630. I have a working El Capitan installation, can i upgrade to High Sierra? I have tried to download Sierra, but it says my Mac isn´t supported. I think i have to reconfigure my SMBios settings, but i don´t know what i should set. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2018 Only if you have a Penryn CPU. It's been mentioned before. Do use the forum "Search" facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikotaro Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Where are the differences between a Penryn CPU and "normal"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2018 Well, you're a little late on this but, since Sierra, macOS requires a CPU with SSE4 instructions set. On mobile Core2Duo CPUs, this was introduced in Penryn family models. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_microprocessors#Dual-Core_Notebook_processors By far and large, the D630 shipped with Merom models such as the T7500. If, in all likelihood, you require to upgrade, go for a T9300, they're very cheap to get these days. In case you also ignore this, the D630 requires a FSB-800 CPU, not a FSB-1066 one. For the rest, please use the forum "Search" facility to consult existing Sierra/High Sierra on D630 threads and read existing guides for the D630.

Pikotaro Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 How can i identify my processor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2018 It's indicated in your BIOS info page... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikotaro Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 My Processor info page says that i have an Intel Core 2 Duo with id 06Fb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2018 Sigh... Could not even think of Googling for "processor id 06FB"? Bottom line is you do not have a Merom CPU, not a Penryn. http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/CPUID.pl maccpuid-3.0.dmg.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
