QUOTE(mikelanding @ Oct 29 2012, 12:25 PM) They can alway install OSX Lion or even snow Leopard. I dont think there will be the problem for older, compatible hardware for a PC/Laptop ok, tq bro.. maybe i'll try to get another old time rig.. then post it here.. maybe the one with c2d.. but i'll post the info once the hardware confirm ok.. hehehAdded on October 29, 2012, 12:32 pm Your hardware is rather old. I did a google search, it seem like your best suitable OSX is 10.5.2 with limitation to 1 core and also no QE support. QUOTE(miramar @ Oct 29 2012, 01:54 PM) I think best not to try. Save yourself the headache. It'll be hard to find people doing the same thing for help or ideas. The oldest chipset that I'm confident of installing OS X is Intel 945G. tq bro.. i'll find some other old rig that might be compatible..Added on October 30, 2012, 11:10 ambro, how about this Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz Nvidia Quadro NVS290 @ Quadro FX1700 Broadcom Nextreme GE Realtek HDA 4gb RAM good enuf? got hardware support?
