Who else has sucessfully installed OSX Tiger (OSx86) on their PC? I'm currently using VMWare to run it...just to be safe, but I've heard it does a lot better in a native installation.
I also hear it's possible to assign it a partition on your hardrive, and that makes sense because most hardrives can be formated with NTFS or HFS.
It says 512MB Ram, but my system has 1gb DDR and I could always assign more.
I've got a killer graphics card (7800 GT) , but I hear OSx86 only allows Quartz Extreme for those onboard intel graphics cards (onboard? Smells like crap to me)
Any tips or tricks for VMWare and/or Native installations of OSx86 would be nice.
Btw, don't download the OSX VMware image, because it doesn't work! (It may have for a few, but I tried it on some of the earliest versions of VMWare and it still said it wasn't a VMWare image.) OSx86 Generic installtion DVD works if you run it with Daemon Tools and install it in a VMWare O/S. Seening that it installs in VMWare, it should also work fine with a native mode.
The only worry I have is booting. Installing it with my two other operating systems might currupt their boot sectors or what-not.
Also, my Nvidia card doesn't run at full potential in VMWare, so I'm guessing it probably wont in Native as well. Without Quartz Extreme drivers, things take 1-2 seconds to show and stuff...while the 1.2Ghz Macs at my school with OSX Tiger open things such as menu dialogs immediately.
