klownx Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'm a little new to this, I've been running Windows XP on on this machine for a while, but I work with Mac's at work, since my C: drive crashed on me yesterday and i had to go out and buy a new one, i figured I would try to install OSX on this machine. Its a custom build from 2004, Asus A7N8X2.0 board, and an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ processor I did not see either of these on the compatibility list, I figure because they're the older models, I just wanted to find out if they would work or not and what version of the install I would need to do this. and help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance, -Klownx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56280-amd-athlon-2500-will-it-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAvenue Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 At Newegg now you can get an AMD Athlon 64 3800 venice+ a socket 939/ Gforce 4 motherboard for a total of $97. Then you definitely will be riding the Tiger !!

shibidoobi Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 haha thankyou. right now i have a $400 dollar pc that was bought about 4 years ago so it is all standard cheap hardware... and i have been using a mac for the past 2 days and it is awesome. i love it a lot more than windows. but macs are so expensive since they have top of the line hardware, especially the macbook pro which is what i was using. but anyways can you tell me if you know where i can buy a mac (any mac, as long as it has OS X 10.whatever) for a cheap price of about 450 max? and i dont think i am getting mac on this pc lol.

rei Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Buy an old G4 Mac mini 1.2 or 1.4 Ghz. look for it in local classifieds, apple refurb store, local stores or local forsale sites like craigslists...or ebay.
