MacOS x86 - It's super sweet!

Well, there's been quite a silence from myself just recently as I've found out that you can get MacOS X (Intel version) to work on some standard PC hardware. Hell I'm writing this post on my current setup at the minute! You can see a pic of the box to the right.

For those of you curious as to what spec this little beastie is, here's a quick spec - bear in mind that this system was built purely as a test rig:

Asrock P4Dual-915GL Mobo
Celeron D 335 (2.8GHz)
512MB DDR400 RAM (2 x 256MB Sticks)
20GB HDD
Asus 16x DVD-ROM Drive

I'm pretty sure I'll be making this system better soon by adding more RAM, a bigger HDD and a wireless card.

Where did all this start? In a VMWare session on my trusty old laptop...



So now I can see why Gasman uses a Mac, I'm so taken by it all that my next major investment may well be a MacBook. Or at least a laptop which is compatible with MacOS x86 ;)
