vbetts Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 You can't run it at all. Osx86 requires a cpu with at least sse2. The XP series only has up to sse1.

jim.starling Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi Guys I've tried everything to get Osx86 working on my new PC without success; I think this is most probably a compatibility problem or possibly I am choosing the wrong options on install. I'm trying to use iPC 10.5.7; i can actually get that DVD to boot; I cant get jas or iAtkos 7 or any of the others to boot (I get still waiting for boot on those). I install iPc with AppleNforce chipset driver only but the installtion just hangs. I've tried boot flags setting memory to max of 2gb; running only 1 core; safe mode etc etc. I;ve been trying things almost non-stop for 5 days now and am either going to throw my PC out of the window or take my own life....joke! My system is:- Asus P5N-T Deluxe with Intel Core2Quad Q9550 xPertvision GeForce 9600GT 1GB 8GB Corsair DDR2 800Mhz Ram 1 160gb Sata HD running Windows Vista Home Prem 64bit 1 500gb Sata HD being used as a SAVES drive for all my music/video etc 1 160gb Sata HD - which i'm hoping to get OSX working on! HP DVD1160D DVDRW I will happily offer a cash reward ($50) via paypal to anyone who can give me information to get OSX successfully working on this hardware. PLEASE HELP!
