Binary-G Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Thanks to all of the info in the FAQs and forums, I just got 10.4.6 running on my Dell Dimension 4550 with a 3GHz CPU (with SSE2) and 512MB of memory. I used the patched installer DVD, customized the install to use the Intel patches and badda-bing!! I haven't tried all of the hardware, but sound works and the screen is running at 1024x768... I'll have to work on that one. I had previously tried using dd to dump a 10.4.6 image onto my drive that worked great, but would only create a 6GB system partition. This was no good for installing other software such as iLife which insists on installing on the system drive. I have a few things to work on, such as keyboard mapping and screen resolution, but that should be no prob. Anyway, thanks again for all the great info posted here. I now dual-boot between OS X 10.4.6 and WinXP. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark. Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Awesome! Drivers and such must be a hassel though. I prefer Apple hardware myself, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuantumByte Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Did you have to do anything extra for the sound driver then? Or was sound working on the very first reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
