loudog3114 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 That pc will likely work well, but Apple doesnt officially support osx on anything other than an apple branded machine, so as far as buying the software, that is a no go. No to mention theres about 20 patches you need to apply to the installation disk to make it work on anything other then a mac.

trubld1 Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 So once i purchase this PC will i need to modify any hardware in order too make os x function properly on the PC?. And also i was wondering since i had first found out about the project if most PCs out there support os x? What are SSE2 and SSE3???
