MAC OSX On a self built PC?

Phate · 9 Jul 2006 at 20:15

Hi people,

me and Tupac are just chatting on msn and what he said got me thinking,

With current intel mac's running windows aswell as mac osx will mac osx run on a self built home based machine? with the new intel dual core cpu's?

discuss.

Can't discuss it on here. There isn't any legal way to do it.

Google is your friend, though.

Older versions apparently will, but it's against the licence agreement, so shouldn't really be discussed on here...

Yep, it's not legal to run.

You'd need to buy a copy of OSX, and even then, there is stuff in the license agreement that you'd be going against.

You can't even get an Intel version of OS X from the shops, the version of Tiger that you can buy is PPC only

That's probably because there are no older intel macs to upgrade an OS on. As all intel macs come with the newest OS as they are.

When Leopard comes out you will find there is a universal binary version that can be bought.
