thefighter Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Is it possible for me to install Mac OS X onto the following stats: Amd Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Nvidia 6600 ASUS motherboard Im pretty sure the rest of the stats do not matter. I was just wondering if its possible, or does it HAVE to be an Intel processor? My dream is to have Linux, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OX X all on one PC and having a boot menu to choose which operating system I want. Anyways, thanks for the help. Posting here should save me alot of time that I should be dedicating to studies, lol. Thanks again TheFighter Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5069-possible-to-install-on-amd-chip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again TheFighter you should be fine. its not osxintel, its osx86. as long as you have an x86 processor (with correct requirements) it should work.

Pitr- Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Thats good news I suppose.

TheFighter Just remember that SATA is not supported on NforceX-based motherboards. But as long as you have at least one PATA harddrive available there should be no problems. It works very well on my AMD X2-system Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5069-possible-to-install-on-amd-chip/#findComment-32268 Share on other sites More sharing options...

anomaly Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 For all dual-core users posting here, does OSX show you as having 2 processors? I have a Pentium D 820 (poop I know) and Intel 945 mobo lying around and would use it if I knew that both processors were supported. I read somewhere on a HCL that the Intel dual-cores only show up as one core thats hyper threaded. Any luck with AMD X2's or Pentium D's? Anybody have a dual-core processor that shows up as 2 processors in OSX?
