videotape74 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hello all, I'm not gonna lie, I'm new to all this. I was just wondering if it was possible if I run OS X on my system. I really bored with Windows and would love to try something different. I copied my system info from CPU-Z so you can see what I'm running. Any help/info would be great. Thank you... am i able to run this...i'm really sick of windows and need a change. thanx for any help!!!

Guest bikedude880 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I can already tell you no even though I don't know what motherboard you have. The minimum specs for the processor are (under Instructions sets) SSE2 or SSE2/SSE3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videotape74 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) oh. that really sucks. ok, i have another question. i have an old iMac G3 M5521. This model... http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Apple-APPLE-IM...R-www.google.ca with 128 mb RAM. Now, the monitor is blown but everything else seems fine. I don't want to just hook up another monitor with the VGA port so is there any way that I can move the internals to a tower and use it that way? Thanks.

It is quite possible to do that, though I am not sure what external ports the motherboard in that has. u need at least a cpu w/ sse2 support to install MAC OSX Dude... first off, if you read the whole topic (only 2 posts ) you would've seen that I had already answered the question. It's posts like yours that get on my nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
