Tom Parker Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hey everyone I am new to this whole OSx86 scene. Ok i'll set it straight i'm bored of windows i've had it over 8yrs and i've just had enough! So i decided to switch to Ubuntu it seems to be a really nice and easy linux distro to use but there was one thing I was missing and thats Photoshop.. sure you can run it under Wine but thats just not upto scratch either. I went back to windows and supprisingly I was missing Ubuntu but just the thought of using GIMP just made me think well i'll have to stick with windows then about a week ago I lost 2 hours of photoshop work in windows... NOT happy! I looked into this OSx86 business but my AMD 2500+ wasnt supported... time to sell my PC so I did and I was at first going to buy a Mac Mini but the systems specs was worst then my current PC I think £400 for 1.5Ghz mac mini is a total rip, your just paying for the logo! I was then on eBay looking and I found a PC that was purposely built for OSx86 and the system specs was so much better then the mac mini and was only £230 I thought that it would do for now and Ican still run windows if I ever needed to. So thats it really i'm just waiting for my Hackintosh I think the guy I bought it off is a memeber here too Heres the system specs of the mini compared to the Hackintosh... 1.5GHz Intel Core Solo processor 512MB memory (667MHz DDR2 SDRAM) 60GB Serial ATA hard drive (Pay extra for DVD RW) VS Celeron D325 2.53GHZ 768MB 533MHZ DDR 2 Ram Intel D915GUX Motherboard 120GB IDE Hard Drive Pioneer DVR111 DVD Burner DVD RW Drive This system is alot more upgradable too... I don't if i've done right or not but if not I can soon sell it - Tom Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
