Can MAC OS work on Windows based type of system

[blade]

Is it possible to install a MAC OS other than on a MAC

I plan on making a partition for the MAC OS

Click on "My Computer" for my specs

Mac OS X requires Mac-specific hardware. As such, it is not possible to run OS X on hardware which isn't running a compatible version of Open Firmware without cracking OS X. OTOH, you can run Mac OS =< 9.x in a virtual machine, such as in SheepShaver in Linux.

PearPC, an open powerPC emulator, will run OS-X on windows and POSIX systems. Your system is fast enough to run it usably but it will be slower than native speed.

MAC OSX can run 100% properly on PC's if you got the right hardware.

Main Page - OSx86

I tried that Pear PC once, it ran so slow it wouldent even boot..

 

[blade]

so it is possible, just not possible without the Pear PC?

Look on the link, it is possible to run on a PC properly, you just need the right hardware, most ATi cards aint supported, heaps for Nvidia, same trend as Linux :p

Look at the Hardware Compatability list, this will tell you if you can get your computer to run Mac OSX withought Pear PC.

[Willz]

[blade]

If its not on the list it means it aint been tested, so its Unknown.
