Hi,

I managed to get my hands on a recent ISO image of Darwin OS X 10.4.7, designed and meant to be installed and run using Intel based IBM compatible PCs (yes, your ordinary PC, not those Intel based Macs). I've tried to installed it onto 2 test computers, but both didn't manage to boot up after installation. Later, I found out that a friend of mine told me that i would only work on PCs with Intel chipset running SSE3, so older SSE2 chipsets will not be able to work. So, i am just curious, anyone out there in this forum is/are currently experimenting the same thing too??? If you have a working setup of the Darwin OS X, please post your pics of your setup including your specs details. Thanks a mill. smile.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

for better is using Intel CPU wif SSE3 , SSE2 also can but remeber to install the SSE2 emulator , wif Intel Chipset (minimum 915)
Radeon X1000 series (some model wont support QE/Core Image than u cant play DVD movie or any DIVX) , better try wif another HDD for not corrupt ur Windows partition) .

AMD also can install but not recomended
