ppffffpp Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hey Guys, I started playing around with OSx86 right at the beginning. I left it for a while and then played with it again (around the 10.4.3 release). To my discovery, I realized why I left it, key features and performance were not right. I then went and bought a PowerBook G4 (Apple does in fact make money off this). And now I am back again browsing the forums! I have a PC: Asus P5GD1 Prescott P4 3.4ghz 1gb ram X1600 video card Built in Sound (that worked in all the released) I just want to know if performance would be as good as my PB G4 (1.4ghz) and if I would be able to run QE/GL on my X1600 with a resolution of 1280x1024. I am also wondering how the whole general practical use would be before I rededicate hours of tinkering around to get it working right.

tripleboot Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I guess you'll just have to try it and see. Everyone's PC's notebooks respond differently to OSx86. I'm running with the Asus P5GD2 Deluxe board and have no problems.

Guest bikedude880 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Asus P5GD1: Decent board, should work well (with a few minor problems) Prescott P4 3.4ghz (SSE3 enabled, works well) 1gb ram (Perfect!) X1600 video card (Will definetely need a patch) You really shouldn't have that much trouble on this system.
