xieqiao Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I want to install Leopard as a VMware guest operating system. I'm currenting running 64-bit Vista with a E2140 CPU that does not support VT (Virtualization Technology). But VMware Workstation requires that the CPU must support VT in order for a 64-bit guest OS to be installed sibe by side with the 64-bit host OS. I know that 10.5 (Leopard) has 64-bit native support. I wonder if there is a reconfigured and revised 32-bit OS*86 10.5 (Leopard)version? By the way, I don't want to repartition or reformat my physical hard disk drive or dual-boot two operating systems. I have already successfully installed Mac OS Tiger 10.4.9 on my VMware Workstation. I also hear there is a beta 32-bit preview version for the upcoming Snow Leopard? Could you tell me where I can download a beta pre-release version for hobby preview only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xieqiao Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 I have googled and found that Mac OS X Leopard hosts both 32-bit and 64-bit apps on top of a 32-bit kernel. So its kernel is still 32-bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
