Thanks, I was sort of wondering what physically was different between a PC
and Mac. While a bit techyish I got a fair idea. It is a matter of chips?
LOL Again thanks.

Subject: Re: Leopard on a Pcvour to ask please. a prayer or two.
the mac os will not run on any windows architecture PC because there is a
security component built into OSX with any intel board configuration. on
the macintosh board there are two chips which keep the operating system
and run it with an instant security check. these are the EFI chip and the
secure buffer chip. these make sure that when the system boots it is in
a safe condition.
on a windows PC you have a bios chip which is completely different to
EFI. BIOS is a general hardware config setup that does not use a firmware
ROM of sorts so can handle anything. but because of the security issue
and the lack of EFI and secure chips, the installer will not find them
thereby creating a boot message on the pc saying / apple component-secure
CHC not found
will the fail the install
sorry friend

Someone with more technological no how would be able to tell you for
sure, but I really doubt it would work.

Hi guys:
I'm wondering if Leopard would work on a regular PC and if any of you
are running it on one. I don't have funds for a MAC, but I might be
able to get Leopard. what do you think?
