Microsoft PC hacked to use MAC os anyone know how? - Land Rovers Only

ArmyRover · 05-13-2008, 06:59 PM

Just like the title says I'm interested in doing the operating system conversion.

Anyone know the steps? Have the hack files to do it? What are the minimum system specs.

I know there are some people on here with serious computer smarts so let me know how to do it

The bare minimum at best.. It Will be slow.

ArmyRover · 05-13-2008, 08:11 PM

because of the processor or the ram? or both?

Jupiter Rover · 05-13-2008, 08:35 PM

Minimum System Requirements for Leopard OS X

* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
* 512MB of physical RAM
* DVD drive for installation

Those are with Intel and PowerPC chips.

Celeron processors are at the bottom of the list of "processors."

so if I do a ram upgrade it should be fine since I'm at double the processor speed.

I got the software downloaded last night so the fun part should come tonight. I wonder what that old pos ibm laptop has for hardware so I could do a test run on it to see how it works.

I tried this about the time they started releasing those hacks. I downloaded and tried both versions of the DVD installers and never got either working past base install. At the time it would not work on anything that was not a real Intel duel-core. If thats changed, cool, I will have to look at re-downloading a newer version if there are some and try again. I can also dig up a few other links that I found on it.

Requirements as I said earlier USED to be that you had to have a true Intel Dual-Core, and one of the patched installer DVDs which you would get through torrent and then burned to disc a very specific way.

Unless they patched the DVD to include Celeron M series, and that your processor reports a specific range of "multi-threading" (or its seen as a duel-core capable) it wont work.

ArmyRover · 05-14-2008, 07:08 AM

I'll have to do some more reading on that but I think from what I read last night they have worked around that now.

chrisvonc · 05-14-2008, 07:13 AM

Which patch DVD did you grab?

ArmyRover · 05-14-2008, 07:42 AM

I'll have to check tonight but I think it was a kalaway version 1.01 release 3

Jupiter Rover · 05-14-2008, 08:07 AM

I'll get right on that

I'd rather use what I have for now instead of wasting the money on another lap top. Thats money I could use on Rover upgrades.
