Is it possible for me to install Mac OS X onto the following stats:

Amd Athlon 64 X2 3800+
Nvidia 6600
ASUS motherboard

Im pretty sure the rest of the stats do not matter.


I was just wondering if its possible, or does it HAVE to be an Intel processor?

My dream is to have Linux, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OX X all on one PC and having a boot menu to choose which operating system I want.

Anyways, thanks for the help. Posting here should save me alot of time that I should be dedicating to studies, lol.

Thanks again

you should be fine. its not osxintel, its osx86. as long as you have an x86 processor (with correct requirements) it should work.

Thats good news I suppose. I shall formulate a plan to install all 4 now (With XP already installed that is)

Any tips to watch out for, greatly welcomed.

Just remember that SATA is not supported on NforceX-based motherboards. But as long as you have at least one PATA harddrive available there should be no problems. It works very well on my AMD X2-system

S**t! I have a SATA 250GB Hard Drive! Thats the only hard drive ive got, why doesnt it work on SATA?

Amd Athlon 64 X2 3800+
Asus A8N-E Motherboard
Nvidia GeForce 6600
Maxtor 250GB SATA Hard Drive
1GB DDR400 Ram

Thats the proper tech spec in full. So SATA Hard Drives dont work you say?

Not on nForce chipsets.

Okay, sorry, im now very confused :-S

For all dual-core users posting here, does OSX show you as having 2 processors? I have a Pentium D 820 (poop I know) and Intel 945 mobo lying around and would use it if I knew that both processors were supported. I read somewhere on a HCL that the Intel dual-cores only show up as one core thats hyper threaded. Any luck with AMD X2's or Pentium D's? Anybody have a dual-core processor that shows up as 2 processors in OSX?

Don't post the same in different threads.

Yer, please dont, can we like, get back to the topic that I posted.

Help please?
