CyberSentinel Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 First of all, I appologize if my post is posted on wrong thread... I know that this topic is probably posted before, but since I` m a person that is uses modem 56k (pitty isn`t it...?), I can`t browse all your topic. It would take my a few days to do that... so this is my specification: Dell Inspiron 6400 Motherboard Name: Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505 CPU Type: Mobile DualCore Intel Core Duo T2300E, 1666 MHz (10 x 167) Motherboard Chipset: Mobile Intel Calistoga i945PM System Memory: 512 MB (DDR2-533 DDR2 SDRAM) Samsung BIOS Type: Phoenix DMI BIOS Version: A14 Video Adapter: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 (256 MB) 3D Accelerator: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 (M54) Audio Adapter: SigmaTel STAC9200 @ Intel 82801GBM ICH7-M - High Definition Audio Controller [A-1] IDE Controller: Intel® 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C4 Storage Controller: SCSI/RAID Host Controller Disk Drive: SAMSUNG HM080II (80 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA-II) Optical Drive: SONY DVD+-RW DW-Q58A (DVD+R9:4x, DVD-R9:4x, DVD+RW:8x/8x, DVD-RW:8x/6x, DVD-ROM:8x, CD:24x/24x/24x DVD+RW/DVD-RW) Keyboard: Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard (european, croatian QWERTZ...)

I don`t know what version is capable to recognize all my hardware on Dell and put them to work as good as macbook (ha,ha, well not good as that, but near that quality..., if it`s possible)... please, would someone be so kind to give me an advice abouth OS and some kind of tutorial how to install it and tweak it... Thanks! btw is this true, that mac os X doesn`t support multi core CPU on PCs, and the ati radeon can produce graphic more than 1024x768??? realy I am sick of winblows :censored2: , and it`s time for something new... please an answer... best regards!

Oracle67 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Neaded staff: 1. Mac OS X 10.4.(1-8) Install DVD (on a DVD+ or -R NO RW!) 2. A PC with a compatible DVD drive (to install OS X) 3. First of all be sure that OSX can run on your computer before attempting anything like a dual boot. How to: 1. Get a prepatched OSX install image (look at torrent sites for that). 2. Burn the image to an empty dvd recordable (+R or -R NO RW) Use your favorite burn program for this (Nero, Alcohol 120%, MagicISO, PowerISO e.t.c) 3. Insert the OSX install disk and reboot your computer. 4. Boot the DVD, when the grey Apple stops spinning, select Language for the installation. 5. On the top of the screen, click "Utilities" and then click "Disk Utility". 6. Disk Utility starts. Select your Hard Disk or Partition. Chose "erase" tab and set the Volume Format to "Mac OS extended (journaled)" and erase it. 7. Wait until the process finishes and then close Disk Utility. 8. Follow the installation steps on your screen, select the HD with the partition you made in step 6 and choose "Customize". In the "Customize" window, select either the Intel or AMD. Choose more packages if they fit in your hardware. 9. After finishing the installation, wait for the computer to reboot, remove the install disk and enjoy your "Intel/AMD-Mac Os X (x86)" installation. That is "concetrated" guide.
