WOWADDICT Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 hello everyone. I got a macbook 3,1 (santa rosa) it only has 1gb of ram. and leopard seems to choke on 1gb. I looked on "websights" for a howto. however all i ever saw was OSX86. the question is Can these versions of OSX Tiger work on my macbook?

Altece Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 hello everyone. I got a macbook 3,1 (santa rosa) it only has 1gb of ram. and leopard seems to choke on 1gb. I looked on "websights" for a howto. however all i ever saw was OSX86. the question is Can these versions of OSX Tiger work on my macbook? my guess would be that you could if you used BootCamp, but not normally. OSX86 is designed NOT to work on real Macs (trust me, I've tried), but BootCamp makes the installed OS think its not on a Mac, so mabe OSX86 would work in BootCamp. Whats the harm in giving it a try?

obijohn Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 You should be able to install a retail version of Tiger, instead of the modified osx86 versions we have to use.

SticMAC™ Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I've downloaded two versions of Tiger from the normal places, a DVD and a CD version for Groot Koos's iMac G3 just a few days ago, so you should be able to get them, I eventually booted it from a USB HDD with the OS copied onto it! Groot Koos now runs 10.4.11 on it, with a smile!!

WOWADDICT Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 I don't think an G3 PPC version will work on Intel? I want to think that the macbook 3,1 ran tiger? I hope it did. because "supposedly" any mac made after Tiger won't run it? I am learning to despise Apple.
