Posted August 31, 2009 Yeh OSX will install on PC hardware. You need to do a little bit of research on what components work, but it still perfectly possible to install a Snow Leopard from the official disc without downloading a pre-patched version (iPC, and all that jazz). It does violate the EULA from Apple. But it's perfectly possible to get a 100% working and very statable OSX workstation.

Posted August 31, 2009 The older Macbooks are only 32-bit aren't they? The Core Duo ones I mean. Cos that is what my one is so I'm assuming I wont see much of an improvement in speed. Any intel core 2 duo mac is 64-bit, but the really big gains are on macs which have 4GB and more of RAM in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 1, 2009 Mine isn't Core 2 Duo it's Core Duo, so think it's a bit too old :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truefacts, also you can boot into 64bit mode if you ever have a reason to, by holding down the 6 and 4 key on start up apparently 32bit FTW though, 64 won't matter for a good chunk of time yet.
