I finally got the chance to test something I have been wanting to for ages, basically installing the Mac OS X operating system on a normal old PC. To cut a long story short, I got it right and it was a bit of a non-event because it was so easy.

I would love to take credit for it but sadly the hard work was done by someone else, if you want to do it, take a look at this guide. For exact instructions on how to get it right.

Mac OS X on my PC

Just for the record, the hardware I installed it on was the following:

  • Pentium 4 (Prescott) 3.2 GHz
  • 1 GB RAM (No I don’t know what brand :) )
  • Gigabyte GA-8IG1000-G (865PE)
  • Seagate IDE Drive
  • HP DVD Drive
