Err.. smooth as what? It's unstable.. That's what my opinion. Best is you using processor that is SSE3 (PD, C2D, etc) support. Well you can try. You better go #osx86 and find prasys. He does help alot.. Or you can find me.. I also willing to help ya. First for the start, dl 10.4.8 with SSE2 (P4 is SSE2 processor) patch iso at torrent.

It's IRC. I copy from prasys post
that is #osx86(irc channel) , irc.macspeak.net(irc server)

i tried installing osx86 (jas 10.4.6) natively on my hardisk. i wanted to boot only to osx so i wipe my whole hd clean. when i boot the jas iso, it gave me the installation menu and all the others. i noticed one thing, in one window(i cant remember which), it detect my iso disk as 10.4.4 and not 10.4.6. i wonder whether i wrongly downloaded the iso.

i formatted the hd to hfs+ partition and went to install osx86. the installation went smooth but when it restart after the installation process, it did not recognized the boot sector.

i went on installing ubuntu for its grub without wiping the osx partition but again, after restart, it did not detect the boot sector. did i made mistakes when installing? can anyone help?

Guess you dl the wrong version

what do you mean boot sector?
Is it boot menu/boot loader?

yeah. everytime im going to boot it will display message telling the boot sector/loader cannot be found.

Bumpy Time.

FYI , OSX 10.4.9 for SSE3 processors [both AMD/Intel] has been released !

Hmm.. That's fast. Does 10.4.9 have patches for SSE2 capable processors? Any idea how it differ from 10.4.8?

Performance much faster in 10.4.9 compare to 10.4.8 because of updated opengl in 10.4.9

PS: That's what i heard so far. I just finish dl the dmg, but havn't install

It seems like it's getting faster and faster.

yeah..OS X isn't like windows... the kernel they compile getting improve & improve & improve.. that's why it's getting faster..

Can i using boot camp after install this Mac OS X?
I wanna using Mac OS & XP simultaneously.

I still need to use some programs over XP...
Main reason to try this due to hate tos spywares attacks my PC too often. Lazy to format & install everything in my workstation.

I plan to using Mac OS to surfing. Then, will switch back to XP to use some softwares which dun haf Mac-supported.

My PC spec:
AMD Anthlon 64, 3000+
RAM :1.5GB
video card: ATI Radeon X550-256mb

you can do dual-boot. install mac os x and XP in different partitions. hence you can boot into any XP normally as in PC. or choose OS X to boot into OS X.

i c. Thx for the idea.

Can i using it like together? Something like launching XP under Mac OS X.
I saw a video in youtube. the XP taskbar is underneath.

It seems very convienient.

But i afraid, using XP like this will be attack by spywares, rite?

using VMware (aka virtual PC)? Yes, you can do that.

Does the 10.4.9 support SSE2 already?

nope.. not yet i guess.. i didn't see it up yet on demonoid..

Yep it was out.. Check semthex blog or IRC channel. I heard some ppl who had install the new kernal, got some problem

It works , there are some problems with the SSE2 Emulation with it. You need to install it manually , no jas' installer whatsoever

If you want some files , just pm me or meet me @ IRC , and I can arrange it for you

P.S - Not warez , just the kernel and some help + some cool stuff for your hack !

Does it mean that some applications will not launch or unexpectedly close? I can remember I installed 10.4.1 without SSE2 patch and it's a horrible mess.

Just try CS3.. it run sux in my hackintosh..

For hackintosh user,most of you use how much of your hdd partition for os x?How about the minimal amount needed inclusive of installation?Thanks.
