s201054 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Alright I'm a poor college kid and I want a Mac. or at least OS X. I'm completely new at Mac but I love the smoothness of OS X. I have experience in Linux and XP. I would like to install OS X on my desktop computer and I have and OS X Tiger 10.4.6 install DVD. I can get almost any version I just don't know how to do it. Every time i try the install I get a message that I have to restart my computer and a "panic cpu 0 caller". Im assuming that my cpu is not up to par for Mac? I dont know but anyone that could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Rammjet Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Have No Clue What I'm Doin!!! 1. This is posted in the Tutorials section and yet it isn't a tutorial. 2. OSX only works on a processor capable of SSE2 or SSE3. The Xp 2400+ is only capable of SSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 As already said, OSX only runs on a processor capable of SSE2 or SSE3. So, the question du jour: Is your processor capable of SSE2 or SSE3? http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/8746/cpuzkf9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
