Background: I recently got Mac OS X tiger for a laptop I should be getting for free relatively soon. but, my dad's computer is always on the frits and he's constantly aggravated. He's very dumb though, and he doesnt understand why his computer sucks compared to mine...(his is 5 or 6 years old... he thinks all computers are the same) Anyways.. Question: Can you put Mac OS X Tiger on a dell formatted computer? I can be dumb too, and I didnt know if you could run the operating system on anything other then a mac. the only time ive seen it is with programs that can run different Operating Systems on one computer, but ive never seen a boss customized computer... with Mac OS X on it.. His computer is really old, and he's getting a new one soon anyways. But for the mean time, I want him to get a feel for Mac OS X since windows is too customizable for him and he's dumb, so I wanted to see if he liked OS X better. Only probably is, I have a hard time enough reformatting my computer... so I wouldnt know where to start in formatting a computer to run Mac OS X Tiger.. aside from the manual it came with, but I dont know if there is anything specific that I would need to do since its a Dell Let me know please. thanks Edit: What ive found and what I know about so far PearPC Emulator: -[link]- Edited Fri Nov 16 2007, 03:57AM |

I did manage to get OSX installed at a PC at one point. I followed the instructions from: -[link]- They're the easiest that I've found, plus they work =) |

IF YOUR SMART YOU WONT DO IT. its like trying to run windows xp on a pentium 1 16mhz (yeah tis actually been done)( but its retarded to do. it will be slow, buggy, and crappy (even worse than it currently is) plus u can use your recovery cd's to install tiger any way. |

Comps aren't that expensive today/ yeah but the whole point was for him to get a feel for Mac OS X tiger before he purchases a computer, because I want to see if he will like Mac better then PC, and instead of buying another PC, I would look into getting him a nice Mac im just gonna get my laptop and have him try that out for a while instead of doing this. That computer is going to be thrown out anyways, but its not worth my troubles thanks guys. |
