I installed Mac OS X Leopard on my mom's meh PC (E2160 + 1GB + GF6600GT) and it's amazing! Laughing A bit strange, but definitely something I could use, lol.

No, I checked the http://www.nfohump.com/forum/index.php site for hardware compatibility (it says which release you should get for which mobo and what graphics driver to install). The release I dled (don't remember the name now) had everything in it. Granted, it's 10.5.2 and not 10.5.4, it's still quite great... Razz

I'm sure I'll be able to find updates as well.

Oh, yeah, make sure you use the provided disk tool to delete an NTFS partition.

Didn't feel bloated, don't know. It ran really fast.

Anyway, I had this release:
Kalyway_10.5.2_DVD_Intel_Amd

Yes. Smile But that's system performance, not games (<- Laughing).

If there was a Bulgarian GUI OS X, I'd install that on my mom's PC for ever.

Maybe i do have to install it to see for myself how it compares to my vista. But then again... i couldnt use it anyway, damnit Laughing
I would have no games and probably no good way to listen to music or watch animes. I would miss youp pax's hacked creative drivers for xp and vista Very Happy

Laughing What? Mine installs in less than 30 minutes, and that's on the old squeaking ATA HD.

You have an AMD CPU? If it's one of the latter ones that support SSE3, you could try using the Kalyway release, which is the best from what I've gathered.
