jbjonas Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 short answer- Yes. Long answer- Read the wiki and search the forums. The details are discussed in so many places, that I won't bother going into it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astyanax Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Yeh, AMD XP doesnt support it, only the 64 series and up, which means you wont be able to run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It don't work natively or in VMware but you can use PearPC as PPC emulator or Qemu as x86 emulator to run OSX (booth slow): http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?s=...indpost&p=62600 http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
