Leopard in to a Non-Apple Computer?


As most of us know that in order to run a Macintosh/Apple OS, you would need to buy a Mac from Apple or add some amount to Job Steve's pocket. However with the help of a developer and geek, it actually enables you to install Mac right on your standard pc. Honestly speaking, with the migration of Mac from PowerPC platform to Intel platform, the idea of running Mac OS in PC gets much more simpler.

I bought my computer last year, and what I was trying to do is to make my setup as close as the real Mac. Due to the budget constrains, it might not be 100% identical with the real Mac of course. This is the specifications of my computer :

Processors : Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo E6600 - 2.4GHz
Mainboard : Gigabyte 965P - DS3 (Intel 965 Chipsets)
Ram Module : 2GB DDR2 667MHz
Graphic : Colorful - ATi X1950 with 256MB memory and 256bit.
Optical : LG DVD writer (SATA)
Hard Drive : Western Digital SATA WD2500KS + WD6400AAKS

The other parts which I didn't mentioned here was not important as it would support anyway.

Now get the tools ready and ready to go :
- An iATKOS_V1_R2 DVD
- GOOGLE and insanemac forum.

Stay tuned for part II.
