computer retard wants OSX on AMD 3200 1gb ram e machines

[drewb]

Sorry i've tried to search around, but I'm very computer stupid - not sure what safe mode means, don't know any commands (whatever those are) not trying to be funny, this is all true.....

 

I'm a musician, using garageband on an ibook that just lost it's hard drive. I need garageband, so I have an old amd 3200 1 gb ram 160 g hard drive 2.2 ghz processor emachines computer and I want to install osx. doesn't matter which mac operating system, how fast, don't care, just want garageband... I don't know where to start looking, but I was wondering what might be the best, easiest, quickest way to load osx on my machine. I saw this one site where a guy made a program or torrent that had a self-installing version of leopard, but he said it wasn't available yet for amd processors...? didn't know there was a difference...

 

If anyone could shoot me a link or a torrent, (heck, I don't even know if I'd be able to download it right, I really suck at computers - if someone out there has a DVD already burned that I could load into my amd machine and it will auto-install I will seriously pay you up front through pay pal or something just to mail it to me.....................

 

ok this is probably the dumbest post of the whole forum, sorry ya'll but if someone can lead me in the right direction, I will be very very gratetful!! I'll write music for free for your website or business if you want, just say so, I'll just be happy to get garageband again!!!! thanks for your patience ya'll,

Andy

Ha Ha, you have neither SSE2, nor SSE3, unless you buy some stuff there is no OSX in your future.

 

From:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2

 

SSE2 is an extension of the IA-32 architecture. Therefore any architecture that does not support IA-32 does not support SSE2. x86-64 CPUs all implement IA-32, by definition. All known x86-64 CPUs also implement SSE2. Since IA-32 predates SSE2, early IA-32 CPUs did not implement it. SSE2 and the other SIMD instruction sets were intended primarily to improve CPU support for realtime graphics, notably gaming. A CPU that is not marketed for this purpose or that has an alternative SIMD instruction set has no need for SSE2.

 

The following is a list of CPUs that implemented IA-32 after SSE2 was developed, but that did not implement SSE2:

 

* AMD CPUs prior to Athlon 64, including all Socket A-based CPUs

* Intel CPUs prior to Pentium 4

* Via C3

* Transmeta Crusoe

 

And at the end of the day SSE3 is kinda "handy" when playing OSX (not 100% necessary, but "handy")

 

CPUs with SSE3

 

* AMD:

o Athlon 64 (since Venice Stepping E3 and San Diego Stepping E4)

o Athlon 64 X2

o Athlon 64 FX (since San Diego Stepping E4)

o Opteron (since Stepping E4)

o Sempron (since Palermo. Stepping E3)

o Turion 64

o Turion 64 X2

* Intel:

o Celeron D

o Celeron 420, 430 and 440

o Pentium 4 (since Prescott)

o Pentium D

o Pentium Dual-Core

o Pentium Extreme Edition (but NOT Pentium 4 Extreme Edition)

o Intel Core Duo

o Intel Core Solo

o Intel Core 2 Duo

o Intel Core 2 Extreme

o Intel Core 2 Quad

o Xeon (since Nocona)

* VIA/Centaur:

o C7

* Transmeta

o Efficeon TM88xx (NOT Model Numbers TM86xx)
