declan Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I am gonna install 10.4.3 on my PC as a dual boot via the bios. The spec is as follows, Sempron 3000+ Asus K8N4-E Deluxe 512MB Geforce 6600LE 256MB My question is, i know QE doesn't currently work but will OS X still be usable, i was running OS X on a G3 700Mhz iBook, till i packed up, will it be way slower than that, i miss my mac but having OS X and XP (for the family) would be the ideal solution. So could i use it for everyday stuff, internet, mail, iChat, office etc. I apologise if this has been covered before but if anyone with similar specs can comment.

declan Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Also without quartz extreme will the dock magnification work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedragon1971 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yes, dock magnification works without QE. The only effect that requires it is the rotating cube effect of Fast User Switching (fades between images in screensavers do too, I believe). Core Image is required for the "droplet" effect in Dashboard, which you won't get either. Your system will still be faster than your old iBook, for sure (I used to have a similar one, and loved it).

declan Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 It would if i could get it to setup, just sits at the boot screen. I know this is the wrong section but i am test installing it on a 8 GB HD, once i know it works i will dual boot, 100GB HD for OS X and 250GB HD for Windows Media Centre 2005. Anyhow, first time i had it set a primary master, after a while i got a no entry type sign on grey boot logo, i remember something about southbridge needed, so i connected to the blue/southbridge port, gets further, ie no no entry sign. It sits at the gey boot logo with no activity from HD or DVD, how long should i wait before its considered a failed install, i am using the OSx86 10.4.3 8F1111A Patched Jas v4.2b DVD.
