Vivi Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Is there anything I need to know about it? Will it support my Hardware? Will I have fully working graphics? I am just so unsure of this OS, does it run 100%? Can I change resolution etc..

glassJAw Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well I guess you should try it yourself since you didn't bother to put your hardware up..

GBK.Xscape Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 the way i would go would just have an installation on each hdd. everything should work well with the AMD patches. just get the osx86 image and burn it and install it.

Prawker Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 you must have an SATA drive then, i had the same exact problem, if you have an IDE drive laying around, hook it up as SLAVE to the CD Drive. Then the insatller should see atleast THAT drive.

bigeasy Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 my osx install wont see the hdd unless it is on the same cable as my dvd-rom, i assume you are having the same problem. i would recommend switching a hdd with a cd drive.

scabadaska Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 .yeah, I guess it is pretty "{censored}" for some people of this community to spend thousands of hours working extremely hard so that you can simply put a dvd in your drive and boot up to os x. Hard work is pretty {censored} Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39574-thinking-of-installing-os-x86/#findComment-283462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
