Answer 1

Sure, but it is going to stink so bad you will regret it. There will be no drivers for your hardware available and you will not be able to go online with it. OS X is tailored to MAC hardware, and even though it will run on the x86 architecture, only peripherals that Apple supports will work with it.

Answer 2

You can't install Mac OS X on a DOS/FAT32 or NTFS partition. It needs either a UFS (Unix file system) or HFS+ (hierarchal file system plus) format. This means you are almost sure to devote a hard drive to just Mac OS X with no Windows version on it. It could be a second drive in the computer, of course, with whatever you want on the other hard drive.

It is possible to install Mac OS X on some, but not all, Intel X86 ("PC") computers. Some people have had success with the Dell Dimension 4600. To choose the correct system (or build it yourself), you must follow certain guidelines. First, forget about any old PC using BIOS. That's ancient technology anyway. Microsoft even started Vista development with the intention of making it for Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) only but they backed off because some dinosaur box makers didn't get tooled up in time. All the Apple computers have been EFI since around 1999 because they like to use innovative technology.

You'll need a newer box using Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) in place of BIOS. But that's just the beginning. You can only install and expect good performance if the processor and chipset are top quality so follow the link below for more info. There's just one part of it I don't fully believe: "This hardware can be obtained for around $100." Yeah, right.

No, it;s not possible. The Mac has a security chip in it, and when the OS installs it checks to see if that security chip is there. If it isn't, it won't install. There are some emulators available to allow you to run Mac OS on non-Mac hardware, but since they're illegal Apple usually shuts them down quickly. None of them work smoothly because there's a lack of hardware support and drivers for non-Mac hardware. Trying to run this on a laptop will be a nightmare.

The bottom line is that if you want the Mac OS, you have to buy a Mac.

I'm sure it is. You should probably set up a dual boot. Make a new partition for mac os using partition magic or something so you don't have to back up all your files onto discs. Then just insert the mac operating system CD into your laptop and reboot (if you don't have the CD you might have to buy one). You should be taken through the installation process and you can set it up on the empty partition you created. There are probably loads of guides for doing it on the net. Just google some keywords like mac os setup dual boot windows etc.

Answer 5

it truly is, yet there are various hazards in touch. there's a undertaking called OSx86 that enables Mac OS X to be placed on any x86 processor (Intel). you're violated OS X's EULA, you don't get any help, there are various bugs, and updates do no longer artwork appropriate. a complicated pc person ought to probable make it artwork, in spite of the undeniable fact that it may be lots greater mushy with Linux or domicile windows put in on it.

Answer 6

Yes, its possible but i wouldnt wanna do it i personaly think the mac OS sucks but thats because im a pc gamer but i also edit movies on windows and my music that i record on windows i like it better less frustrating for me i like having more options more manipulativity haha mac's just dont catch my eye in any way and i HATE that there is no right click! its soooo annoying! why would you want that?
