paragkalra Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Hi Folks, I am using Linux from past 2.5 Years. Since then I have never looked back. I don't use Windows. I can't use Mac bcoz I can't afford the original Apple Machines. I have heard a lot about this forum. I have heard so many people, saying that this forum is one stop reference to install Mac Os X on IBM architecture Machines. I want to try Mac. This is my Machine Configuration: Asus A8N-E Motherboard, 6200 Turbo Cache Geforce Nvidia GPU, 3000+ AMD Athlon, 1 GB Transcend RAM. Just give me the link to download the latest Mac Os X iso that will support my Machine. Also kindly let me the steps to install the same. Useful links will do the job for me. This is my first post to this forum and first ever try at Mac. Please don't disappoint me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Is that an Athlon XP or an Althon 64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 paragkalra, ISOs We are not allowed to post links to ISOs on the forums but heres a hint: You can find them on The Pirate Bay and Demonoid. CPU For your, the we need the exact AMD Athlon version (XP or 64) to determine if your CPU supports SSE2 and/or SSE3. If pretty sure its Athlon 64 because looking at your MoBo specs, it only shows support for Athlon 64 series. Graphics/Video For your graphics card, is it the GeForce 6200 or the GeForce Go 6200? For GeForce 6200, this thread gives instructions on how to set up graphics with QE/CI: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=57929 Chipset Your chipset is an nForce4 so it does have issues with OS X but I have an nForce4 as well and I'm running fine. Audio Your audio is Realtek ALC850. I have the same thing. Your audio will work with the Azalia Audio Driver. Networking In your MoBo specs it doesn't say anything about the Ethernet NIC model. I have a very similar MoBo as you and my Ethernet is Intel 82540EM Gigabit. Yours is probably something similar so it will work with the Intel Pro 100 VE Driver. Bottom line: You're good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paragkalra Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 @pcwiz Thanx a lot for your reply. CPU is Athlon and supports SSE3. First just let me know by what name should i search the iso over piratebay since demonoid is not working from past 2-3 days. If thats not allowed here please pm me the exact torrent that will work for my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 There are a few ISOs you could use. Best ISO for AMD: Tubgirl 10.4.10 You could also use: Uphuck 1.3 Universal DVD Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3 PPF1+PPF2] **IMPORTANT NOTE**: Regarding the nForce4 chipset, I found a limitation for AMD with it. You won't be able to install to a SATA hard drive. You have to use a PATA (IDE) hard drive or an external USB drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
