For anyone who follows mac related news, or is looking into loading Mac OSX on a PC, you may have heard about the new Rebel EFI software from Psystar.

http://store.psystar.com/rebel_efi

I was skeptical, so I decided to try it out for myself... and it totally worked. In about 25 minutes time, I was running a clean retail install of Snow Leopard on a custom build PC.

So, enough of these dumbass 'Mac vs. PC' threads here in the producers forum. Build a PC, and load whatever OS you want. /dilemma


PS> I have throw in one observation while running the free 'demo' version, I typically run dual monitors, and the Rebel EFI OS was only supporting single monitor support. The early firware of the EFI-X chips on the market exhibited the same issue. I'm sure they'll resolve that in a short amount of time. I did not run any performance related benchmarks or testing. the demo is free, go for it.

Just thought you guys might be interested in this. It seems like the $50 answer to the 'I don't have enough $ for a mac' quandry.

I think it's a chick.

I have the EFI-X chip that girl talks about in my i7 production machine. it cost me $240, and works like a charm.

Until a few days ago, that was the BEST way to run OSX on a PC.

Now that this software I linked to above it out... you don't even need a physical chip... and the software is only $50.

This thread isn't about the chip. Sure, if I had all the time in the world I would have used Chameleon or Boot-132 also.

I too will be joining this bandwagon shortly after the 1st of this coming month.

Limitations aside (which are few) this is the best way to go IMO.

Apparently chameleon was built on an open source code that was put into a $20 chip and sold for $200. I think echosystem posted something on that around here? Most of these solutions are fail. Mac OSX isn't that great anyway, windows xp is perfectly adequate IMO.

Woah. That's some bullshit yo.

Here's a link from that article that helps you set up Snow Leopard on a PC. It was written by one of the former moderators of the ASEM forums:

Yes you can run Logic, that's the only reason to own a mac right?
