homers Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hi I have Mac version 10.4.6 and I have it working on my Dell GX260. I tried to get it on my main computer but I get the "Still waiting for root device" error for which I haven't solved yet. Could my Dell GX260 run Final Cut pro and programs like Garageband etc well? Also, my main computer has 2 S-ATA hard drives and two IDE DVD drives. Does 10.4.6 support S-ATA and would 10.4.8 get rid of this root device error as my main computer is a lot more powerful? Thanks.

hecker Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The root error is very common and can happen for different reasons. I have no idea what the GX260 specs are so check the wiki (wiki.osx86project.org) for compatibility. I believe 10.4.8 supports S-ATA but I am not sure about your case. Again, check the compatiblity list/forum for that. Give 10.4.8 a try. It seems to improve a lot of things. hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43539-general-questions/#findComment-311176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
homers Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hi I know the compatibility of my GX260. I have Mac 10.4.6 already on that. I was wondering if that GX260 could run programs lie Final cut pro and Garage band. it has a 3GHz P4 processor an ATI graphics card(don't know much about that) 512MB RAM MATISHU DVD ROM CD RW drive.

Ferret-Simpson Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Try it and find out. Garageband should be ok, but for finalcut. . . considering how much it costs already, you're wasting it to run it on anything but a real mac. You'll need to at least double your memory, anyway. 10.4.6 supports SATA. Get an ICH-7 motherboard for the PC.
