ctene Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 It was a bit tricky at first - the SONY Vaio VGC-RB50 was a tempting offer at Future Shop for only CAN $699 and i thought what the f*** - lets get one - so I did, it took me longer to create the restore DVD set than create a dual boot config with OSX 10.4.3 LOL, everything just plain works, Core Image, Quartz Extreme, Monitor Detection, Firewire, S.M.A.R.T. status check even my iSight (initially intended for my ibook G4) works great with it Only one thing bothers me (as a developer) - there seems to be no properly operational version of OS X Server for x86, no - I found my way around to use webmin and other management utilities with success with the version but it sure as hell would kick ass if there was a way to make osx server work on intel I'd have then so many clients to convert I'd have $ bills comin out of my ass And yes - as of today - confirmed - version 1099 of 10.4.3 runs skype and QuickTime 7.1 flwlessly, looks like apple is in no rush to "block" the PC phenomena Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17359-the-ultimate-pc-mac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) wow.. joy! are you going to update the OS at all, or are you sticking with good ol' 10.4.3? Oh, & btw I heard that there is an "OSX86 server" package floating around some torrent site.. From what I hear the stuff is all PPC but runs OK on OSX86.. Have you tried that?
