Helyz Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm a new guy in this forum so I got so many stupid question to ask, so I highly appreciate any help from you guys I got a old PC (4.5 years old) with the specs - Pentium 4 630 (The clock speed is 3GHz) - 2GB RAM - Gigabyte 945GZM-S2 - 1TB WD Caviar Green Because Windows is getting more and more unstable so I wanna try installing OSX on this PC.So far, I've tried looking in the tutorial forum but no luck for me. And here's some question - There are many distro out there : iATKOS, iDeneb ..... and the retail version. So what's distro should I choose ? - Can my machine run 10.6.7 ? This is an old machine so I'm not sure it will work on my machine. I just wanna use this machine for surfing as I got a alienware (unfortunately, my M11X is the rev2 version and the only choice for OS is windows) Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/255505-i-wanna-install-osx-on-a-45-years-old-pc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helyz Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 It's using IGP right now Btw, I did some research and I found out that my mobo is working really fine with OSX, some guys has posted a driver pack for me, which is awesome. But I want to know which version of OSX should I choose : a distro like iDeneb/iATKOS or the retail version Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/255505-i-wanna-install-osx-on-a-45-years-old-pc/#findComment-1674404 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helyz Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Here's the driver pack I found http://www.mediafire.com/?zx0mw0zydyk Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/255505-i-wanna-install-osx-on-a-45-years-old-pc/#findComment-1675290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 LOL @ driver pack i didn't need that when i installed SL on my P4... everything worked, including the nVidia 7200GS card (graphics enabler on Chameleon). your main concern should be the USB when you install the updates.

Gringo Vermelho Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Helyz: There's a readme in the "driverpack", have you read it? It's meant to be used with retail Snow Leopard.
