MAC OS on PC for nerds

cshs

I know that there will be a post out there concerning this but I couldn't find it (please redirect if you know!)

I've been wanting to try out a Mac OS on my PC for a while now. Could someone suggest where I should go to find out more information about this (apart from the wiki site) - or - more importantly if you've done it I'd really like to hear from you and your experience. (please no skin or themes users).

you will need a core 2 duo and also a good ram and graphics card. the file is available to try out in torrents. google it.

It's doable fairly easily (just build a system that mayches the Mac's published specs and get yourself the equivalent of a full-blown Mac Pro tower for about $1200-$1300...

There have been threads on this before ...but anyways ...

I did install Mac OSX on my PC as an experiment as i won't want to keep it (illegally) on my system. Moreover i'm quite happy with Linux.
It worked great but the problems i faced were incompatibility with
1) Graphics card 2) Wireless card

The laptop was pretty much useless without wireless , so I removed it sooner than i had thought.
Here is a link for all the information you would need for this
http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I did have to go through the painful process of backing data up and repartitioning my hard disk for this as OSX stubbornly wants to sit on a primary partition and i had only logical ones, but still it was great to have a tripple boot LINUX, Leapord and Windows

i'm amazed at how many of these articles are floating around in here.

if you were to look around, and search it up a bit, you'd be able to find AT LEAST three threads on this subject alone.

sweet...I've never seen anybody do a triple-boot with windows, mac OS X, and linux though Confused

I did the triple-boot on my Apple hardware for a while, but it was a bit unstable for my liking. Also, I hate my partition table looking like swiss cheese. I eventually opted for Parallels VM software.

cshs, google the OSx86 project, they have a great wiki and software on how to run the Mac OS on x86 hardware.

Be warned, however, that Apple's EULA strictly forbids this.
