OSX86: The Final Moments

In December, I got this DVD from a friend of mine whom I had given a lot of work before he could burn the DVD to my specifications. And since he is such a good friend of mine, he followed my instructions correctly and gave me the DVD as I needed it. Installed on my computer(using the same DVD) is OS X 10.4.5, but this is quite different from the one I had earlier. This custom compiled DVD incorporates all SSE2 patches the Maxxuss released to let me run OS X on my good old PC(not that it’s really good) with least compatibility issues.

I have done a lot of things in the past one month with OS X and am almost done with it too. Downloads on Azureus, Designs on Photoshop and Sites on Dreamweaver and what not…

The only little problem I faced was my wireless card not functioning with OS X. That is the real reason I am disposing off the partition on which OS X is installed. In case you’re wondering how I downloaded stuff on Azureus without a Wireless, then I should tell you a Wireless Access Point need not be the only way to connect to the internet.

Another reason of course, is that I don’t have enough space to install Zod on my PC. The stupid thing needs 4 GB. The only way I can do anything is to say goodbye to the HFS Partition “MacHD”.

Then why am I having trouble now?
Since my board exams are nearer than I had thought, my PC has been shifted to a place where only my Wireless card can work. Grrr…(Something I picked up from Varun Mishra, and before he could patent it too)

So what’s up (other than studies)?
A lot. To let you in on a little secret, revieware is going to become big, very actually. And how am I doing it? That’s the interesting part. I’m not doing anything. Then who is? You’ll get to know soon. Also coming up soon is what I dub “The N Project”. What’s N? Let’s say Nothing. Nothing that can be revealed yet.

Going through the archives of this blog, I have seen that the content of this blog has not evolved over time. That’s good and bad. Good because it can be understood by anyone(in my generation). Bad because the search engines wont pay any attention to this blog and will treat it as just about any other blog on the web.

  • Now this is interesting. I dont think Intel came out with Pentium 4 Processors with 3.07 Ghz rating. But your screen shot seems to tell a different tale altogether.

  • You noticed. My processor is only a 1.95 Ghz P4 which OS X cannot approximate correctly.

    OSX86 doesn’t seem to detect my primary 1GB sodimm, for some unknown reason. It’s running on the secondary memory module but giving an acceptable performance.

  • Although Manas Gautam is one of the “dudes” who goes for these quizzes, I would like to point out that I was the “dude” who won (okay, came second) the quiz during your school’s Matrix-Ecomm Buzz.
    Not that it matters.

    This N-Project thing of yours is quite intriguing. Its almost making me go wild with curiosity.

  • I thought I was forgetting something.
    Changes made.

    N Project- It was meant to be that way. Let’s hope the outcome is good too.

  • you really shouldn’t have put your dreamweaver mx serial like that :)
