Hatorade Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'm totally new to this and someone referred me to this site to find out more. I have both a Dell desktop and Dell XPS laptop and I've heard that it's possible to install Apple's OS X on PC's. I'm told this is the site for that. All I want to know is more about this software and what it does and where to get it.

Colonel Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I've read all that, I dont know where to get a "prepatched OSX 10.4.6 install image" or "the green demon"... The green demon is Demonoid.

TacoMan Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Magnificent. Now, what should I look for in the torrent name? EDIT: One more thing... My new PC is going to have an AMD Athlon 64 (3200+ 2GHz) in it. Will this cause any trouble?

You should know by now you cannot ask for file names, download links etc. as it is against the rules. Something tells me if you dont even know what you are searching for or where to get it, maybe this isnt the right project for you. Im all about new people joining the project, but common sense is #1.

Something tells me if you dont even know what you are searching for or where to get it, maybe this isnt the right project for you. Im all about new people joining the project, but common sense is #1. I'll take that as an offense. I'm an A+ certified PC technician up for a little experiment. This is a whole new world to me, and I get an "it should be common sense"? How the hell am I supposed to know? I'm only attempting to try something I've never installed or even ran for more than 24 hours. I now under stand that your forum does make it clear not to request file names. I completely understand any reasoning behind this. I don't, however understand the thrashing of n00bs. If all I need is a little help to get into the right direction, you may as well provide it by typing away at your keyboards. I dont appreciate any of those comments... I will kindly ask again: Will my AMD processor impede the sucessful operation of this project?

TacoMan Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thank You, gubbel, for that optimistic, solid response. Were there karma on these boards, I would exalt you. I'm glad to hear it will run. For clarity, we are speaking of 10.4.6, correct? ::I am currently receiving the image. I've looked on the wiki, to no avail with a couple components of that computer. For the record, here are the components: Motherboard - ABIT KN8 SLi Processor - AMD Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2GHz Memory - 2x Kingston 1GB PC3200 DDR via 4 512MB DIMMs Hard Drive - Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 160GB SATA II Hard Drive (optional) - Western Digital WD400 40GB ATA Video - Dual eVGA GeForce 7600 GS via SLi bridge I'm willing to break the SLi if necessary.

Ouch Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 The stumbling point for most people is graphics - only a limited number are supported out of the box and there are a few projects aimed at writing nvidia drivers and drivers for unsupported ATi cards. Read around the drivers sub forum and you should find what your looking for.

TacoMan Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Sounds fine to me, but what do I know; "This project isn't for me"... I've learned a lot about VMWare in the past few days. It's quite a nice program. To my knowledge, your processor has sufficient speed. We need to know more about your machine to be of any help. What brand/model is it? If you built it/had it built, what were the components. Re Graphics: Damn. I have quite a few spare graphics cards from other machines I've worked on. To give you a better idea, I have a shelf of over 100 graphics cards. Not many ATI, but I have many nVidia cards from the Quattro workstation to the 5xxx series. Of the ATIs, I beleive there is a rage card, but I cannot recall atm.

TacoMan Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 OK Guys. Me and my common sense and limited newbie knowledge has successfully installed Mac OS X 10.4.6 on a 40GB hard drive. I've yet to start it up natively, but I installed it under VMWare on a separate 40GB hard drive. I'll report how things work out.

It's getting it to boot native that's the pain. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21490-new-to-osx86-project/#findComment-143436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
