Reply #65: The ONLY reason why you can't run OSX on a Vanilla PC... [View All]

[Solon]

is because of a BUSINESS decision by Apple to put a custom Rom/Bios chip on the motherboard that OSX will check against, if the chip isn't present, then no installation. Unless you want to hack the Installation program, hell, tomorrow, I can buy OSX, hack the installation program, and install it. However, while that isn't illegal, it does violate the EULA for MacOSX and I couldn't get security updates.

Right now, I'm looking to get a Mac, Motherboard that is, I have everything else, that is ALL I need, then I could run MacOSX without even violating the EULA, I want to set up dual boot Linux/MacOSX. But, no dice, they don't sell the motherboards. I don't need a fancy case, I don't need a new graphics card, sound card, DVD/R drive, Monitor, etc.

ON EDIT: changed the PC moniker to "Vanilla PC", Macs are PCs, just locked down PCs.
