It is possible, but usually more hassle than it is worth. You can get more information and help from here: http://www.osx86project.org/

Thanks alot!

What versoin would i be looking for?

[Jamesy]

10.5.x [Leopard]. I would recommend iPc which can be obtained through various torrent sites.
Make sure to read up first! :)

[Gnome]

Yeah, looking up on it atm, ill start the dl of it and burn it to disk then finish reading up tomorrow, Will i still be able to run the likes of MSN, WoW, Utorrent?

[Jamesy]

Yes there are all OS X equivalents of those.

[Gnome]

okay, cheers for the help! : )

iPC and iDeneb and Kalyway are all brilliant. They make me miss my Aspire One :(.

It's going to be a pain in the ass to get everything working, it won't be worth it.

[Gnome]

oh, i read somewhere that everything should be working fine if my processor supported SSe2/3 then most of my drivers should work automatically. :s

[Recursion]

They won't work automatically

[MrPinkPanther]

They won't work automatically
Agreed. They never do even if it says they will. During the instiallation (for iDeneb atleast) you have to tick what drivers you want to be installed but even after that usually atleast one or two things on your PC won't work such as your Disk drive or your Sound.

My neighbour has just done this on his netbook. It looks really good, just like OSX. He got it off a forum somewhere. Looks good!

Chances are he was using a MSI U100/Advent 4211 (my old laptop) ~ if so, then they are the EASIEST ones to do, don't jump the gun just because he has 'found it easy'.

It is a lot of hassle, but if you're a techy person and know what you're doing then yea, try it, if you're a newb and are just trying to do it to show off, then don't go their as you could **** up big time.

Oh, the Samsung NC10, yeh, they are easy to do to, most NETBOOKS are. :P

[Gnome]

But i could just do it on my netbook as my PC has all my main documents ect

what netbook do you own?

[Gnome]

Eeeepc 900 is what i own atm.

Well, yes they can be done, but I wouldn't advise it.

I have the EEE PC 1005HA, yes you can do it on mine, but it requires changing the wireless card, and it's just not worth it.

If I were you, I wouldn't try it.

[Gnome]

meh, if im gonna have to pay to change wireless cards and stuff i think ill leave it out.

ty for the help anyway : )
