i'm sure this is being asked in a lot of heads right now. but with the newest mac os running on intel core 2 duo, could i have a computer built for me that has a core 2 duo processor and the right "parts" (obvious why i'm having it built FOR me)... buy MAC OS 10.4.whatev and kick some ass? i love my little G4 iBook, but i need some more power! and it's kinda tough to afford a new big-boy apple right now (for me). any takers on this?
while i'm on this subject, why is it uncommon to see people build their own mac-based computers? in fact i've NEVER seen one. please only reply if you know what you're talking about |

And there's a site about all this, but given the rules we have here, I won't enter on this further, only to say this:
The actual possibilities to build a PC running OS X exist, but need time and knowledge somewhat. Also, you may never be sure it'll work 100% for your use and the support of the hardware by the OS is version based as it's a rat race between Apple and the guys keeping cracking the OS for this. I think it's way easier to stick to Apple hardware and make music instead.  If you don't have the money for a full fledge latest mac, check the classifieds (be wary of too good to be true affairs though) or check regularly the refurb store at Apple. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
