The First Bootable OSx86 10.4.4 DVD

cavemonkey50.com — Right now in my hands I hold one of the first bootable OSx86 10.4.4 disks. This disk will allow anyone to install OSx86 on any SSE2 or greater machine. No, this isn’t a hoax. This disk is real.

  • plaxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2*waits for a proper scene rls* silly noobs
  • ldenman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1do we need to have 10.4.3 installed first?
  • AdamD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1btw, the best digg of the week ;)
  • NickDanger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15kind of a pretentious article description, innit? It's almost as if you're saying,

    IN MY HANDS, I HAVE THE WORLDS ONLY CUP OF COFFEE, I KID YOU NOT! IF I TIP IT MORE THAN AN INCH, SCALDING HOT LIQUID WILL COVER MY GENITALS.

    a little extreme? yes. and don't get me wrong, it's exciting news, but is such hyperbole really necessary?
  • Dennis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I hate digg for bringing sites down. This is rediculous
  • dtrinh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cavemonkey, I am going to worship you tonight.
  • capajc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Why would I digg something you have but I don't?
  • jayf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What is the legality of this? I have a G5 Power PC so it is of little use to me but its interesting to see that generic beige boxes will enjoy the OS I have come to love.
  • mikm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1God damn it. Bugmenot has failed me
  • FormulaOne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8
    This is ironic, in an Alanis Morrisette kind of way, because right now, between my ass cheeks, I hold one of the first bootable OSx86 10.4.4 disks. This disk will allow anyone to install OSx86 on any SSE2 or greater machine. No, this isn’t a hoax. This disk is real.
  • Dabisu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Does this truly work on any PC with an SSE2 compatible processor?
  • Fukusan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Curious to hear peoples impressions of OSx86 running on their non SSE3 boxes. And not simply a yes or no on the topic of booting, but how do the apps work?

    Thanks
  • gamekid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Let the Mac-Windows x86 arms race begin! Or continue! Or...something!
  • codyman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Few ?'s:

    If you have SSE2.. does it still run pretty quick?
    Will this DVD work with AMD processors?
  • mac4xbox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1FINALLY!!!! Booting 10.4.4 install disc and upgrading from 10.4.3.
  • bugzer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1how do you know if your machine is sse2 or better? I have a 1.5Ghz P4 - do I have what I need to run this?
  • ldenman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1cpuz
  • vapb400, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1bugzer-

    go to cpuid.org and download cpu-z
    it will tell you on the main screen.

    Verify....but I think your processor has it
  • BlackStorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7if you have a P4, you have an SSE2.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2

    from Wikipedia:

    "SSE2 is one of the IA-32 SIMD instruction sets, first introduced by Intel with the initial version of the Pentium 4 in 2001. It extends the earlier version SSE instruction set, and is intended to fully supplant MMX. SSE2 has itself been extended by SSE3, also known as "Prescott New Instructions", introduced by Intel to the Pentium 4 in early 2004.

    Rival chip-maker AMD added support for SSE2 with the introduction of their Opteron and Athlon 64 ranges of 64-bit CPUs in 2003."

  • royeiror, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how do you know if your machine is sse2 or better? I have a 1.5Ghz P4 - do I have what I need to run this?

    Well, lets not forget the other categories. This would actually go in the Tech category as well as the Apple.
  • ldenman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0jesus!
    still no load!
    ugggghh!

    can someone confirm whether we need 10.4.3 installed before installing this?
  • QuantaS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0im so xcited!
  • mscnln, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1/me laughs at everyone from his powerbook
  • ucbrave92, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i just ordered my intel board now that i know 10.4.4 is out
  • Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0wow this thread is crazy ahah...

    Good job there folks, I'll just keep running OS X on my mac over here and smile at all the OS X love.
  • gamemaster357, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0he cood share the love...but he doesnt
  • ThePDW, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Ok, I'm ignorant. What the frick is OSx86 and why would I want it?
  • soopafly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow...look at all these future Apple fanboys...lol
  • suMMx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what kind of video support is in this release? are there resolution limitations or issues if you have an nvidia or ati card?
  • Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Can't we find a political angle on this? LIke, Bush doesn't support OSX on x86? Or maybe SCOTUS recently announced some patent decision involving RIM and Apple? Or some Republican said something evil, and some Democrat said something stupid, and the UN condemned them both? C'mon guys, we need to get Digg back on track as a poli-sci blog!
  • lukas88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how well does osX86 run usually? does it work with most video cards, sound cards, etc?
  • GuyHersh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol over 200 comments after being on front page for like maybe 45 minutes

  • alevel27mage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone notice how this site stole the Greasemonkey icon for its FavIcon? Wow, good job. No digg for stealing an icon from an open-source project.
  • VelvetNightmare, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So, without 10.4.3 already installed on my system, I can't just install 10.4.4 from the DVD, correct?

  • Dennis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dude, DigeratiPrime, shut up. Just sit back and watch the show. It will be fun. Plus we have newsvine anyway.
  • suMMx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So, without 10.4.3 already installed on my system, I can't just install 10.4.4 from the DVD, correct?

    correct, you need the 10.3 intel iso that shipped with the new macs and then patch it with this update
