gogent Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Well I just finish summer school and now have some free time on my hand. I have a Dell m1330 and really interested in installing Leopard on it. Before I dive into this I just want to hear some feedback. Couple of questions for you guys. 1.Was it all worth it? I heard of many incompatibility issues such as drivers, booting, etc... 2.Is it faster in performance-wise than let say XP. 3.Is Leopard you primary OS now beside showing it off to you friends so they can envy you. 4.Is Kalyway the best route to take? I also see Mac OSX86 - iATKOS v4i (Leopard 10.5.4 DVD) Default Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 [OSx86 DVD5 Edition for PCs!] Zephyroth AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 OS X on PC- hackintosh! iATKOS Leopard 10.5.1 with efi kernel (2.14GB) Leo4all ver. 2 OS X on PC - hackintosh edit. forgot to put my config XPS M1330, Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 (1.66GHz/667Mhz FSB, 2M L2 Cache) 2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm, for XPS M1330 Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100, XPS M1330 120GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive for XPS M1330 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118981-is-it-really-worth-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocShadow Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I don't have a laptop so my remarks pertain to a desktop. 1. Yes. I installed OSX on two different boards. For the older build there were a lot of options available. For my new board there were problems getting it running but it was still worth it in the end. 2. Not really but I wasn't looking for speed vs the XP setup. I was looking to do things that I find more difficult in XP. For example, I can made photo or movie DVDs much easier in OSX than XP .... and they are more professional looking without the steep curve required in XP. 3. No. I work a lot in OSX 'cause I like the look and feel of it better but it's lagging behind in other areas. I have a dual boot system and use both on a regular basis. 4. For my previous setup I use Leo4All ... it gave me the best results. For the new build I was more successful with Kalyway. I did try iAtkos on the new build but went back to Kayway (I did numerous installs. ) Doc BTW ... after using OSX I liked it so much that I went out and bought my wife an iMac; however, I'll stick with my builds ... I find them much faster. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118981-is-it-really-worth-it/#findComment-842754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
