aryayush Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hello! I recently bought an Apple MacBook Pro 17" Core Duo 2.16GHz and have become totally adicted to the Macintosh platform. I have absolutely stopped using my PC and it is lying forlornly in a corner of the house. Now, ever since I have heard that it is possible to install OS X on my PC and it is relatively easy, I have been bursting to try it. So here are the specs: 2.66GHz Intel single core processor 512MB 400MHz DDR RAM Intel D101GGC motherboard XFX Geforce 6600GT 256MB PCI-e graphics card Acer AF715 17" monitor Will OS X work well on my machine? If yes, where do I start? This forum is so huge, I am a bit confused. I read one topic and have come to learn that I cannot use my original installation disks to install Tiger on my PC, so how do I go about installing OS X? Thanks!

aryayush Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 That didn't help. All I got were links to reasons why I cannot install OS X on a PC.

arsenalsam7 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 i don't see why not, just go through the HCL's and match your hardware and to see if anything needs to be patched Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33882-can-i-install-mac-os-x-on-my-pc/#findComment-239732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33882-can-i-install-mac-os-x-on-my-pc/#findComment-239733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
