aryayush Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hello! I recently bought an Apple MacBook Pro 17" Core Duo 2.16GHz and have become totally adicted to the Macintosh platform. I have absolutely stopped using my PC and it is lying forlornly in a corner of the house. Now, ever since I have heard that it is possible to install OS X on my PC and it is relatively easy, I have been bursting to try it. So here are the specs: 2.66GHz Intel single core processor 512MB 400MHz DDR RAM Intel D101GGC motherboard XFX Geforce 6600GT 256MB PCI-e graphics card Acer AF715 17" monitor Will OS X work well on my machine? If yes, where do I start? This forum is so huge, I am a bit confused. I read one topic and have come to learn that I cannot use my original installation disks to install Tiger on my PC, so how do I go about installing OS X? Thanks!

aryayush Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 That didn't help. All I got were links to reasons why I cannot install OS X on a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenalsam7 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 i don't see why not, just go through the HCL's and match your hardware and to see if anything needs to be patched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
