i previously installed osx86 10.4.1 and updated to 10.4.3 with generic boot dvd on a mercury motherboad with via chipset the processor is P4 1.5GHz, 256MB SD RAM. It was very fast. Even faster than WinXP. But without QE/CI and sound. I switched over to gigabyte 915ME motherboard, 256MB DDR RAM, 2.53GHz Celeron D yesterday. Now QE/CI are working properly but no sound ie. AC97 onboard.
But the entire OS runs very very slow. Can anybody help me to configure. You can contact me on roshan_aj@yahoo.com.
Thank U

eh…worked very easily for me. dunno what kind of brains are working over at TUAW. perhaps they didn’t use the install DVD that installs OSx86 natively…

osxx86 was very easy to install on my friend’s alienware desktop. 1GB of ram and I think a
2.7ghz proc. very easy too, we used the method to install it in windows using dos tools. pretty easy, just basically putting the image on the second HD and dualbooting. acronis os selector even found it right away. pretty fast running for us.

@g0at: It seemed like you said I was posting this all over the place, my bad for the mis-interpretation. I’ve posted another comment on tuaw, a small programming forum, and nowhere else. I usually always say where I got it, sorry if it seems like i’m taking it for granted, it’s a great guide. Sorry for any shit I caused, just trying to help people out with it.

@nobody: I tried it as root too (su / sudo) and it still gave me crap.

to “Cruz”: You posted it on TUAW

to “Mofo”: If no one cares, then why even hack it in the first place? It was something I enjoyed doing (and I spent ALOT of time on it). The least he could of done was say, thanks g0at.

to “nobody”, you are correct, thank you. I’m glad you got everything working. if you need any help applying patches, I will be glad to give you assistance in whatever way possible.

@cruz.
um, i believe the other site that you posted goat’s guide was tuaw. btw, his guide was just fine for me, my guess is that with the terminal thing in ubuntu you weren’t root.

g0at, I gave credit. Not specifically but I didn’t claim to be the original creator of the file and never did, I just modded it to show what worked for me. How you got Ubuntu to work with it is far beyond me, it fucked me up and it fucked them up, as did the AppleTPMACPI.ktext file.

And what do you mean again? Where else have I posted this? Last I checked, nowhere else.

those “hackers” are bunch of friggin morons
just read the comments of that article, like “the only reason that you were “running sluggishly” or “very slowy” is because you left in the AppleTPMACPI.ktext resource files. This thing constantly checks your computer for the TPM, which it will never find. All that you have to do is:

1. Navigate to /System/Library/Extentions/AppleTPMACPI.ktext

2. Drag to the trash.

3. Authenticate (“bovinity”)

4. Reboot

Enjoy OSX86 without any lag”

and ” You realize that there is a copy floating out there in the neverland known as the Internet that is a Bootable Install DVD that incorporates all the patches/hacks so that you can:”
and “13. Comments on the osx86project wiki and forums would tend to indicate that the CPU usage and graphic artifacts have both been long fixed. There’s even a patch available that will create an installable DVD, from which you can boot and use Apple’s installer.

You say to brace ourselves for a trip through the seamy underbelly, but most of this article consists of “we had no idea what we were doing, but we kind of stumbled along!” ”

rockies.

the main problem with this system, is the weight of water you would need to run something of decent size

i’m wondering if this person(s) used the boot command of: platform=ACPI|x86PC
when i tried it, it ran at 100% resources. after this command was entered at startup, it no longer consumed all the resources; and ran very smoothly.
