OSX on PC

|peace|

Very interesting indeed... like this part "No one knows exactly why OSx86 appears to be running faster on the PCs than the Mac OS does on today's Macs." Cant wait to see how this one goes. Thanks for sharing.

It probably is running faster because it is missing many of the drivers needed for this hardware so there isn't as many things loaded.

Intel is using Mac desktop images on their images for their new chips.

Interesting indeed... I love Cleo because she always knows the answer :)

Apart from proving you can do it, what is the point of this hack? I am not a Mac user, but I do prefer an Amiga over a PC, I only use a PC because there is more software for the PC than the Amiga, and I would guess that the reasons Mac users would use a PC would be similar. I can get several Amiga emulators for the PC, but never would bother. I have a PC on my desk, and an Amiga beside it. I use the PC for things I cannot do on the Amiga, and the Amiga for things I can. And I would assume that any Mac user "forced" to use a PC would do the same thing with a Mac, so would not need this hack.

RE "No one knows exactly why OSx86 appears to be running faster on the PCs than the Mac OS does on today's Macs." - It could possibly be that both AMD and Intel make chips that are a lot faster than the Power PC chips that drive Macs !!!!!! (In fact you would be hard pushed to buy a brand new PC CPU that is as slow as a Mac CPU).

The reason Macs run so fast is that their OS is a hell of a lot faster than Windows. So if you put A Mac OS on a machine designed for a slow clunky OS like Windows, then it is going to be a hell of a lot faster.
