AbsoluteNoobX Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hello guys. Sorry for my noob question but I am beginner I have a really old PC - HP DX 2200 HW: Intel Dual Core P925 1,5GB ram Ati x1300 graphic card 160GB HDD My questions: 1. Can I install a Mac OS on this PC? 2. If yes, which one? 3. Do I need to worry about performance? I just want to browse the internet, watch some youtube videos and listen to music. 4. Should I install Mac OS or Linux (lubuntu) on this PC? Which one will be faster? Thank you for your answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi and Welcome to InsanelyMac forum! Snow Leopard or Lion would be a good idea: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288509-ati-mobility-radeon-x1300-qeci-lion-guide/ But, i think that your RAM size is a problem, would good if you can buy more RAM.

AbsoluteNoobX Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 thank you for your answer! Max. amount of ram is 2GB, I cant install more cause the mainboard offers only 2 slots. My GPU is an Ati X1300 (desktop PCI-E).. not mobility Will I be able to run MAC OS without lags? I only want to watch YouTube and Twitch on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can try this: http://forum.osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1579-lion-on-dell-optiplex-755-with-radeon-x1300-128-mb/ Or, go to Nick14's tip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
