rusteswan Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 (Aplogies if this is a re-post, I did do a search but didnt find anything...) Ok, so the other day I was wondering if my hackintosh was actually running 32 or 64-bit OSX because id seen an article comparing performance, so I downloaded geekbench and it tells me thats its running 32bit. This doesnt bother me at all - everything works beautifully, just like a home made mac pro with performance to too far off the true Apple workstations and if it aint broke-why fix it? But I was wondering if anyone has a 64bit OSx86 install dics or wether anyone has started work on one yet? It might be quite interesting to compare hackintosh performance across the two platforms? rustE Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51408-64-bit-osx-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 ... The project name is Os X86 and not Os X64... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51408-64-bit-osx-hackintosh/#findComment-367792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusteswan Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yes and I can clearly see why it was originally called that but I wouldnt expect a potentially confusing change of project name during the next phase of development No need for sarcastic answers that dont answer the question.... cheers...

Sabr Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I dont think there is a high chance of someone developing/coding a 64-bit version. However, Leopard is going to be 64-bit so it would make more sense to start work on hacking Leopard to work on PC's. - Sb.

rusteswan Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 I thought that might be the case - we'll have to hang till then... I just wondered if it may be possible with tiger as the intel macpro's run 64bit tiger. I guess tbh thats going to be alot of development that would be quickly out-dated once work starts on leopard. rustE Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51408-64-bit-osx-hackintosh/#findComment-368343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
