Title: I know that Windows can be ran on a Mac.
Post by: hotlikesauce. on December 21, 2008, 09:48:59 AM
But is there a way to run OS X on a PC?

There's no program that's like, opposite of WINE?

Yes. Last time I checked, it was a complicated process that almost never works quite right in the end.

But you can check for yourself, the project is called OSx86 (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page).

EDIT: the process seems far less complicated that I thought (http://tgrounds.blogspot.com/2008/10/osx-leopard-1055-on-pc.html)

I don't understand. Why can't it connect to the internet?

So by talking to my friend I've found out a lot about this.

Wireless doesn't work with it. I would have to use an Ethernet cable (which is meh. got one in my room anyways).

But can I forward an internet connection from my computer to my Xbox? I can do it with windows.

Also, I've seen some that say it works with AMD and some with Intel only. My new laptop has an AMD Turion 64 X2 Processor. And which is better? Zephyroth or Kalaway? And why?

If you have a Core Duo/Core 2 Duo then it's usually possible to run a native OSx86 installation.
