Metrogirl Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 You know, there's no way of telling until you try it... Go for it. Other folks are running OSx86 on similar hardware so you should at least get something. Probably you'll find that it all starts up but various things don't work properly ... but don't be disheartened - there's loads of advice on this forum for fixing things. Try it out. Let us know what happens. Then ask questions and lots of people will help you get it all working. It's only by all the experimentation and fiddling about by everyone that we've got as far as we have. Take a deep breath - dive in - and tell everyone what you found. Hey, if it works, you'll be helping someone else.

Edd Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Seconded, I felt that the amount of info on the wiki about compatibility can put you off if you feel you aren't compatible, but I have a pretty low-end laptop (One of Toshiba's Equium efforts) and OSX works incredibly well. As Metrogirl said, just give it a go, if done by partition or on its own hard drive not a lot can go wrong.

JAWS13 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Looks like a nice rig. Are these parts primarily going to be running Xx86, or are you planning on running windows/overclocking? Maybe spent a little extra cash for the DFI NF4.

Zeph Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Youd be better off getting an Intel P4 3GHz HT or above, 512MB RAM+, on an Intel Mobo with built in Intel GMA900 Graphics as this is the only hardware that is 100% compatible.
