Mac on PC

[Dentafrice]

I've seen a few people here and there with that.. I was thinking of putting it on mine.

Wondering what version my computer would support:

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 Hyperthreading (3.7GHz)
Memory: 512MB DDR
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce FX5600
Sound: Soundblaster Pro MPU-401

(Dell Dimension 8300)

Anyone have an idea what version to use, and any instructions?

Mac on Windows or Mac on PC?

I meant PC, orginally with Windows ;P Been a long day.

with those specs I would go for a tiger version, as leopard works best with SSE3 and I'm not sure whether pentium 4 can do that.

osX86 is what you need to search for, guides for many things.

Thanks! I'll look that up, btw my architecture is 32bit.

32bit is fine, just make sure you have SSE2 at least. SSE3 recommended.

http://www.osx86project.org/ <--- Both links are extremely useful, especially the forum.

I would go for Tiger on that spec

Wondering if I want to just remove XP all together, or dual boot Mac/XP.. any recommendations?

[Recursion]

I think its easiest to use the XP bootloader, you would have to mess around with a darwin or GRUB loader without XP.

I've had no problems with Vista and OS X

Do you need XP? Is it doing something for you that a mac can't?
If both answers are no, then NAHH, you don't need XP. I have osx86 tiger on my desktop, suppose it's OK.

Hmm, thing is, I use XP for importing photos to my computer from my memory card reader (external), and I'm not sure if it will work with Mac.
