Running MAC on PC (AMD)
February 10th, 2020
OK. I have formatted my PC yesterday and made two partitions. On one i have installed Windows XP, but on the second one i wanted to install Vista, but i really dont want to because i tried it before. So i want to try somerthing different like MAC. But now i have some question before doing that thou.
When i install the mac on my PC, will i also need to install the motherboard drivers? If yes, where could i get them for mac? I just checked, and there are none on the Manufactures website (Gigabyte).
Could also someone give me the link to the topic where i could download mac to run onn PCs? I found it once, but now i lost it. I know there are many here at wbb, but i dont know which one the best would be for me…
I really appreciate your help people! Thanks!
Download Leopard-AMD..it will have most the drivers..you get to choose what drivers at the install window…
Thanks for the reply and infor !
I really appreciate it!
So would you recommend me to download this one http://www.google.com?t=1054146&highlight=
or this one?

Thanks! (Just want to make sure before i do something like that. It�s the first time )
Definitely the second link..the 10.5.1 version gave me soo many problems…I had more success with the10.5.2…
OK. Thanks for that!
Will it work if i use the tutorial from the first link, but the mac image from the second one?
I want to dual boot windows xp with that mac so that should work yeah?
And (last question) will it be able to be installed on a NTFS file system or do i have to convert it into a FAT32?
Thanks!
Sorry, I cant help you with that. Not an expert in this area…
You need to format the parition disk as “MacOS Extended (Journaled)” It will be done in the setup of OSX.
To make a dual boot you need to install something like Acronis Boot Selector (Comes with Acronis Disk Director suite)
You could try this mate…

Sorry I didn’t try dual boot..as for the format just when the install windows comes up look at the top menu and go on Disk utilities…you need to format as HFS..then once formated..close the disk utilities and proceed to the install stage..
You could try this mate…http://www.google.com?t=1149574&highlight=Thanks for this link Headucatiion, but my mainboard is not in that list
http://wiki.osx86project.org/My mainboard: Gigabyte GA-M51GM-S2G
I couldnt find it in the list. Does it mean i am wasting my time?
Hey, sorry to burst your bubble but yes you may be wasting your time.
However there is (hopefully) no harm in trying, it may work for you but it may not. Did you check all the types of OS X? Your motherboard may be in there somewhere..
hmm, well i just noticed that that list there is submitted by other people. So it could be noone tried it on this motherboard and it still could work….
Or am i wrong?
Sorry to bump, but i really need your opinions guyz.
I guess so, but i’m not sure
I guess so, but i'm not sureThanks for your help thou anyway….
I am still downloading that mac of that second link and i DO hope it works…
Like I said in my previous post, yes it is possible that it MIGHT work. Not certainly possible though. Nothing wrong with a VM machine either.
He jdys …. have u installed MAC… if yes …which process ..pm’d u …chk
I am proud to say that i have successfully installed Mac OSX 10.5.2 on my AMD!
I used the Kalyway dvd image and the instructions on the x86 project’s website…
My internet, sound, graphics all works FINE WITH NO PROBLEM!
My internet at first didnt work so i googled and wasted one whole day. Now i found the working kext for my MoBo and it works fine. My PS2 Keyboard wasnt recognized either so i bought a USB one off ebay and now that works too!
Anyway, if anyone wants more info about my specs or how i installed it or so, just reply back!
(Man, OSX is sooooo AWSOME!!! )
Use vmware it will be fine
