tomoir_III Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hey, I was just told about Mac OSx86 from a friend, but before I install it, there's some things I'm worried about and want to know. Firstly, I'm a Linux user, I run Fedora Core 6 and I'm very much happy with it. Computer Specs: IMD processor 1GB RAM 300GB HD (though only 260 GB of free space) NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] Should there be any problems running OSx86 on this? (If you need any other specs, don't hesitate to ask) Also, is OSx86 completely stable? I've heard some of these cracked OSs are sometimes very buggy, and I just want to make sure. But if it does work, iis it totally like a run-of-the-mill Mac, in that any and all Mac apps (compatible with the version in use, of course) will work on it? Lastly, what FileSystem does OSx86 use by default, and which FSs does it support and is able to read? And are you able to partition the HD in the OSx86 installation? I'm really excited about using Mac, and any response/help is appreciated! Thanks!

Rammjet Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Processor - needs to be Pentium compatible with support for SSE2 or SSE3 instructions Graphics - card is a bit old, will only get minimal VESA support - no graphic acceleration Filesystems: OSX reads and writes HFS+ (Mac) and FAT32. It reads NTFS. An old plug-in allows it to read Ext2. It reads and writes to NFS. It is quite stable once properly set up and with SSE3 processor and later versions of patched OSX will run virtually all OSX apps.

tomoir_III Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Alrighty, then for the help I hope to start using OSx86 soon. BTW, where can I find a list of the Apps that come with OSx86 (versions 10.4.7 / 10.4.8) And I know this is a bit off-topic, but can any Nix users tell me how the performance of OSx86 compares with any major distros. (and I don't mean comparing it to Puppy Linux, lol. I think that would be pretty obvious) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34816-osx86-worries/#findComment-247167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 On the patched OSX DVD's for Hackintosh, no special OSX apps. Only the normal things like Safari, Mail, iCal. No iLife or iWork. Although there is a folder of some 3rd party apps on the 10.4.7 DVD, but most you can download for yourself.
