staverts Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi there, I am a newb at installing OSx86 on a PC, but rest assured I am proficient in Linux, I just have no Mac OSx experiance. That being said, I have read the essentials for install, but still have some questions: 1. Here is my hardware, it looks from reading, as though my rig is compatible with OSx86, but I want to make sure: - Dell Optiplex 150 - Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz - 256 MB ram (I will add more ram if needed) - 80 GB HDD - Intel chipset for video (possible 810 series, but cannot remember for sure) - USB Sound card for sound (As recommended. but is there one that yiy recommend?) - I installed a good old trusty 3C509 PCI card (Seems to be reconized by anything, hell it works with zenworks imaging ha ha ha) - Standard CD-ROM / Writer (IS burning supported?) - Standard issue dell PS2 keyboard and mouse I think I am compatible with SS2, just want to make sure this looks okay, should I add anything to make my life easier 2. I have a Geforce 2 MMX, and a Geforce 4 MMX, will either og these work with the Nvidia drivers in the sticky section, will I be able to make these cards work with 3d support? I think they will, am I right? Thanks in advance!! realy excited about trying JAS 1.4.8 DVD. My wife will love her new P-MAC if this works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37980-newb-questions-hardware-run-down-and-geforece/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuja Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 It should work. You will want to grab the latest Intel/AMD SSE2/SSE3 JaS DVD from Demonoid.com I am guessing your P4 does not have the SSE3 instruction, but most definitely has the SSE2 instruction.
