And yes, using online FAQs I have modified a copy to install on Generic hardware. Here's what I will tell you: You will have better luck using a 915G or 945G motherboard as compared to anything else (period). I think this is because it's much like the mac. And, the performance is fairly good. In fact, I'd say the performance with a 2.93 Celly is better then the MiniMac, which will run you about 5 times the cost in hardware. As the client needs us to deploy the OS/X elsewhere (dumb decision, they bought a 10 pack from CDW because they thought they would need them with the Macs they bought.. which of course, already came with OS - duh) then I'll move them elsewhere. :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Sipe Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2006 2:00 PM To: The Hardware List Subject: [H] OSX on Intel Not asking for instructions or the like, but out of curiosity, has anyone here had any experience running OSX recent releases on generic hardware (AMD or intel?)

[H] slide scanners ?
anyone recommend a reasonably priced slide scanner ? I have a archive a 1M or so I want to save for posterity. One at a time on a flatbed, yuk. I really do not even mind paying a service if the price is right since this would be a one time deal, once the slides are digitized the scanner could go on ebay just something I am looking at more projects fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Time heals all wounds, but the belly button remains.
RE: [H] OSX on Intel
Uh, no. I was thinking more like a cheap ass 761GX AM2 Motherboard, and a sempron 2800+ AM2, about $100 total for board + processor, add some ram (say, 512MB) for $50, a HDD for $50, and a CDR for $20. Case for $40. Bam. $260 and he's got a whole box with PCI-E if he wants it alter, could go to an X2 if he wants later, but for right now, perfect to just play with an OS he probably won't use on a day to day basis ;) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayne Johnson Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 10:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Hardware List Subject: RE: [H] OSX on Intel At 06:26 PM 8/20/2006, Mark Dodge typed: So before I go crazy searching the internet, is it possible to run on a 949 with some not so exotic hardware?

Re: [H] -ot- phone ?
2 words, REVENUE STREAM. Must pay to download games/ringtones, must pay data charges to upload pics. Never mind it took the a YEAR to finally offer Razr and it's not GSM. Anthony Q.

If you don't care about those sort of things then it will be fine. These can be re-enabled if they're deal-breakers, if you're a bit enterprising. Re-enabling DUN over BT on my Verizon E815 was as simple as typing in a few characters...and there's loads of people that have enabled file transfer. Greg
