xequence Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I currently dual boot XP and ubuntu. I am looking into OSx86 and it looks really really cool. I just have some questions... I have: 700mhz intel celeron coppermine processor 192 MB RAM 20 GB HDD CD-RW Burner First of all, will it work on my computer? Do I need a DVD drive? Is my computer powerful enough to run it? I am familar with bittorent and can easily download off it... I use the computer for some art things, and downloading and listening to music off p2p. Can OSx86 run normal OSX programs? Are they fast? I would need a bittorent client and limewire probably... I have two 650 MB CD-RWs, I can erase them both. One has the ubuntu linux installer and the other has the mepis livecd/installer. Is there any way to dual boot with windows? My sony mp3 player is windows only as far as I know. It really is hard to find info on OSx86, thanks alot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1674-a-few-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It NEEDS dvd if you do native install. For DD install it does not. joneSi Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1674-a-few-questions/#findComment-10555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
