MGJulius Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hey, I'll try to answer your questions piece by piece i dont know what an SSM3 is and i realy want to install leopard on my windows so i dont have to skin or use too much memory First off I think you mean SSE3 which is a processor instruction set used in modern processors... To run OS X on a windows computer your processor must have at least the SSE2 instruction set (SSE3, however, is highly recommended) To find this information out download a program called CPU-Z under the "CPU" tab look for the "Instructions" box. There you will find the information you need. THE PROBLEM!!....im not sure if my computer is compatible This problem is fairly easy to solve...find out all the hardware on the computer whether it be the processor, motherboard, ram, or the graphics card (you can use CPU-Z to also find your motherboard model) Once you find all this info, use either google your hardware; use the search function on this site (look up top); or drop by the OSx86 wiki page and see if your hardware is compatible. i have a windows xp sp2 eMachines.... and thats all i know of it lol can someone give me like an easy tutorial on how to do this??????? The easiest way for newbies to install osx86 is to use a pre-patched disc. To find these drop by a torrent site and search for one (examples are Kalyway, JaS, iATKOS, Zephyroth, and iPC). Then burn it to a disc and see if you can install and if i do this will my files get erased like my music, photos etc.? Not if you partition your hard drive...google this for more information Hope this gets you started on a fun and thrilling undertaking!!!!
