Basically I want to try MacOSX and I know about VMWare so I just wanna ask what do I need to be able to 'emulate' MacOSX on my XP SP3 PC? The specs of the PC are horrific (2ghz single core, 1gb of RAM) I don't know any of the other specs or what processor etc. it is lol. So can somebody give me some links on how to get VMWare set up and where to get a copy of MacOSX ('legally' for free )
I tried searching the web but I just got confused.
I'm thinking of getting a new iMac but I'm not too sure so I want to try MacOSX before I spend mucho moniez. Thanks.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, You won't be able to use a VM on 1 core?
Also... I doubt there is a working kernel for yourCPU, Just a lucky guess though

Lol I was thinking that with my ****ty hardware it mightn't be possible. Lets just hope.
wmware should be able to run on single core i know virtualbox can so maybe try that
if you have an intel core 2 then most macs have that in so it would be compatible cpu wise although i think vmware emulates a different type of cpu so it may not work the ram may be problematic

Hahha, Okay, Althoguh I do think a VM needs it's own core to run on Also if you do get an iMac, You can always stick Windows on it, Plus... Whatever you get... It will be a huge upgrade haha

Haha too right! I like the iMac the way it's all just packed in to the monitor itself so no need for a tower and I'm thinking of running VMWare to game on Windows then.

Which? The AMD Athlon? I hope I can atleast run MacOSX just to give me an idea of what it's like. There aren't many Apple stores in Ireland either for whatever reason so I can't go in to an Apple store and check them out.
AFAIK the new iMac uses Intel's new Sandybridge CPU btw.

Yesterday, my old computer crashed so I went shopping for a new computer. I don't know what I was thinking, but I came home with a iMac 24'' desktop.
So, say goodbye to my cooking days. This DOES NOT mean that I'll be getting an iphone..NEVER. I will wait until October for WP7(not soon enough).
Moved to Off Topic.
Now why would you choose that? There are a lot of computers coming out with up-to-par technology. Hate to say it, but bad decision.

for $290 thats not bad at all, seeing as when they came out they retailed for around $1200. you could potentially upgrade the memory to 4gb and then youd have quite a descent machine on your hands for the price you paid.
its a good machine, my rating is around 4, so your around there. Unless you below 2, its all good

How do I know how many slots I have available for RAM, and what RAM I exactly need? I am kinda new to computers but I know there are different types, like there is not just 1 type of 2gb DDR2 RAM..
What you have there is a business laptop. It has an Intel integrated GM965 chipset with integrated video (it sucks but does the job. Don't expect to play Blops at full visuals). Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400 or DDR2 PC2-5300, max 2Gb/slot. It has 2 slots for a maximum of 4Gb
The 6910b is a stalwart laptop, able to take a good bit of abuse. Just don't expect it to be a high-end (or even mid-range) graphics lappy
Yours truly,
[HP engineer]

Are there any posibilities that we can run Windows xp on the tablet some day?
i've seen a video that runs ubuntu, i dont want to see the word "ubuntu" in this whole thread please, thanks.
if there are possibilities.. how can we start, should i make a facebook page where we all manifest our feelings?
Reason in my case: i have some especial software that only run on windows xp, and also a couple of games specially Ragnarok Online (private server) that i play.
What I'd be a lot more interested in is a version of wine running on the Tab, either directly (which seems rather unlikely) or inside that brilliant OS that you don't want mentioned.
I wouldnt use windows xp to use any internet browser
because i'm sick of the Spyware/Malware BS! but some software would be nice like:
GRAPHICAL ftp client, DreamWeaver, Macromedia Flash, Notepad ++
i'm an amateur Web designer

None whatsoever!
Tab is ARM based, not x86 based. The only "hope" would be an VM, but even if someone could be bothered, performance would likely be dreadful.
Ubuntu is open source and has been ported to ARM.

Won't ever happen, and it would run like total dog**** if it did.
You can already play your hacked MMO on a cheap netbook, and as primitive as Ragnarok is, that's all you need.

sup atomix. As everyone else already stated the GT's cpu is arm based, hence no native winders.
However rdp/vnc/cloud connections to both real and virtual windows machine is definitely doable.
I saw an interesting article in Engadget the other day. Looks like onlive will be serving up their cloud based gaming with a side of windows 7. Maybe this will be helpful for you.
Sorry I would post the Engadget link but I just registered to this forum as I just got my tab TODAY!!!!!!

the CLOUD sucks tytyty
any recomendations for my purpose?
The 'Cloud' as you refer to as 'sucks' is the internets.
If your 'Clouds' 'suck' then I suggest you invest in faster internets.

tried ubuntu on the tab and runs extremely slugish, i'ts out of the question..
any 7 inch or smaller tablet that would run windows xp?
i said TABLET not netbook, i already have a dell 10v but is way too bulky to take back and forth from city to city
the tab i need, needs to be the closest to the galaxy tab 7" or smaller display size
with at least 5hrs of battery, open a resolution of 1024px width
sim card slot with aws band support, wi-fi, at least 32mb video card
etc..

Ahh, Amiga...good old days indeed! True preemptive multitasking OS, intuitive GUI in Workbench, and the graphics and sound fidelity... mmm... in 1987! Microsoft could not boast of that complete set of features in a consumer OS until Win 95. After my C64 I briefly had an Amiga. Then I moved to the States and got an Intel 386 box running MS-DOS and Win 3.1. Faster chip, more memory, and more hardware flexibility, to be sure...but the OS was a giant step back.

Was wondering if somebody fluent in the Linux OS could help me choose a good Linux distro. Currently running LMDE, but it seems as if my laptops battery pluments. I have a high capacity 6-cell battery which usually lasts me 6-7 hours on windows. But only lasts 4 hours or less in LMDE. Anyways I'm looking for something that has just about everything working out of the box. LMDE had my WiFi drivers... my graphics drivers... which Linux is picky with my radeon GPU. My laptop is
HP Pavilion Dv6z quad edition
AMD A8 3550-MX (APU)
Radeon HD Discrete Class Graphics (I believe its a 6220g)
6GB RAM
Etc.
If you need any more info just ask. Thanks.

Moved to Off-Topic.
Try Ubuntu, I have it set as a dual boot OS on my desktop and it had most of the drivers I needed.
Ubuntu tends to run "out of the box" without any additional installs or tweaks, so you could try it. Make a live CD and check that everything is working before you install it.
Oops. I should have mentioned I tried Ubuntu 11.10 and it wouldn't display my screen turns out it doesn't like my GPU. Tried 10.04 and it worked... but hardly. Haven't tried 12 yet... might try it and see if it still does the black screen deal. Trying to stay away from fedora or RPM based distros as I hear they are a little more difficult and I'm a Linux illiterate.

Intresting never heard of it.. then again the only ones you ever really hear of are Ubuntu and Fedora... so ill take a look at it. I understand desktops are a lot more linux friendly? Wondering if there is one that is more laptop friendly. Laptops tend to have more drivers such as Wifi bluetooth and so on and so forth. Maybe somthing like that?

Ah my fault, completely missed where you said that, sorry 'bout that.
If you grab the "AMD64" iso image you should be fine, it's been a while but I remember running Ubuntu 9.04 on AMD with no problems, you should be fine.
Debian squeeze is very good for that sort of thing
