But maybe someone out there can make it happen? I don't really understand. Intel processors are backward compatible. In the view of the operating system (or any application running on it) it's just an Intel processor with some features (like MMX, SSE, NX-Bit and so on...). The only thing I can think of is that the chipset (north- and southbridge) is not supported and Mac OS X Tiger/Intel gets confused by the "unknown chipset" and thus refuses to load.
