ASUS A8Js

[kartoonstew]

I was wandering if anyone here could help me sort my thoughts. I have come to the conclusion that I will never again buy a mac as long as they are still charging designer prices for inferior hardware. That being said I still love OSx and would only use windows for gaming (as I do now on a pretty questionable tower setup) I am looking to buy (possibly) an

 

ASUS A8js:

# Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2GHz, FSB: 667MHz, 4MB L2 Cache

# nVidia Go7700 512MB etc..

 

My questions are thus: First of all can this computer successfully boot OSX with methods used by Project OS86x?

 

In addtion, what are the problems or issues people have when running OSX on a pc?

 

 

 

I would greatly appreciate any insight on this topic!!!

 

 

Thanks very much

Lets see... I know nothing about your hardware so I shall address your other questions.

 

what are the problems or issues people have when running OSX on a pc?

Some problems have been LAN, video, audio, incompatible chipsets, AMD Processors (though they are getting better), etc. Any part of the system you can think of, someone has had a problem with.

This laptop is great, really great, its only problem is drivers, if somebody made drivers for all its parts, it would be better than a macbook pro at half the price. But its ethernet requires a driver install, the wireless doesnt work (no driver for it), same rings true for sound. The titan install doesnt work on the nvidia card either because it doesnt work with 512mb cards, bummer, maybe in like a year, this computer will be the {censored} for mac os, but right now, its just incompatible, curious too, seeing as ASUS makes laptops for apple, youd think they'd use alot of the same parts heheh.
