O.P. Installing OSX on a PC
Hey,

I'd like to do this, and I know it's possible, but I don't find any good tutorials about this. I searched here, but OSX is only 3 letters and the forum doesn't want to search on that (pretty annoying). Anyway i'd like to ask does someone know a good tutorial on this?

Tnx
But that is my opinion!

RE: Installing OSX on a PC
Its pretty easy to do, you just need to make sure your hardware works. Everything worked for me apart from the wireless and sound.. 

When i installed it, i just got a spare HD, unplugged all my other HD's ad installed it on there as a single boot. When you want to use windows, just unplug the drive with OS X and plug your Windows drive in. Easy as that.

Just do what it says here And you should be fine.

O.P. RE: Installing OSX on a PC
But I want dual boot with Vista. The link says not to select a partition (which should be my choice) but to select the whole disk

Edit: found it tnx :)

Just so you don't make the mistake I did of not fully reading the instructions, your processor needs to support SSE2 or 3 (Pentium 4+, AMD Athlon 64 / Sempron) for OSX to work.

Unfortunately Barton core XP's don't have it. :(

RE: Installing OSX on a PC
yes it's possible to do, i 'may' have it at the moment, it's borderline illegal by the way... not that that would stop some people :P

It's ok though, nothing special , best motherboard/cpu combo would be all intel but that is mega ££££$$$$€€€€€ sometihng like $300 for intel's best mobo :|
