WANT

What hardware are you running it on?

Core 2 Duo E6750 2.6Ghz @3.5Ghz

GA-965P-DS3

4GB DDR2 800

8800GTS 640mb

I simply put the DVD in the tray, customized the install by selecting the stuff specific to my hardware

I'm pretty noobish when it comes to this whole OSX86 scene, but since it was soooo easy to install OSX in the first place, I decided to just try updating to 10.5.7 via Software Update, if anything went wrong I could just simply reinstall it... BUT GUESS WHAT, IT WORKED!

I've installed OS X here before, but it was always a little more complicated trying to get things up and running. The osx86 community is advancing so much though by releasing new drivers, fixes, etc. , now basically anyone can do it (assuming it's compatible :p) . You also need a bit of luck with your hardware combination, it may not play well with OS X. I guess I lucked out with mine. The scores I get in benchmark utilities like Xbench are comparable to a Mac Pro!

Nice, thanks for the list. I was considering getting either another desktop (yeah, I need # 12) or picking up an HP Mini, which appear to be relatively easy to load up with OSX.

Thanks!
