The_old_PC Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Ok i got a pretty old pc with Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHZ HT So i wanted to ask if i could install mac osx leopard on the pc. If so which version should i download: Will there be any problems or will it work fine. My graphic card is an agp ati hd radeon 3850 Is there any tutorial which i could follow and i also have ubuntu and windows running as a parallel installation will this installation corrupt anything and i cant boot anymore?. Thx for the help! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/156511-really-old-pc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Will there be any problems or will it work fine What is your motherboard? This is the most important. But there's a very good chance you can get it working If so which version should i download:Neither. Get yourself iPC 10.5.6, or iDeneb, or XxX, or iAtkos. Is there any tutorial which i could follow and i also have ubuntu and windows running as a parallel installation will this installation corrupt anything and i cant boot anymore?.Go to the tutorials section. It'll shouldn't mess up anything if you do it right. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/156511-really-old-pc/#findComment-1100843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A google search for PV488 brings up a lot of links to ASRock, so I would guess that is the manufacturer of your motherboard. If you have a Linux LiveCD (the Xubuntu LiveCD will fit on a CD-RW btw, or the System Restore CD is even smaller), you could boot an run lspci -vv and lsusb -vv. That would give you a good idea of what hardware is on your system. Your CPU probably has SSE3 since it has hyperthreading, but I'm not sure. cpuz will tell you that too. It definitely has SSE2, but SSE3 is the one you really want. SSE2 is just bare minimum to run.
