    Look into a program called BootCamp for Windows. I believe it will allow you to use a Mac OS on hardware that was made primarily for Windows. The question is though, why ruin a perfectly good Windows OS :heyy:


    [After researching myself, I now believe that BootCamp is for installing Windows on a Mac system, and not the other way around, I'm sorry :(]

    hmm most likely yes it should be sense if i remember there isn't a x32 or x64

    and your specs should allow you to use mac osx on your system

    to make a bootable usb on windows you need a vitrual pc to put mac's os on to make a bootable usb or tranmac
    to install it on the main pc/laptop ( but like i said its kinda hard sense you can get error's)

    But if Mac isn't x32 or x86, wont his system restrict his use of all 16GB of RAM?

    it shouldn't have a limit sense the 2006 MacBooks can go up to 3gb (that's because of the hardware its self)

    iv seen mac's have up to 32 gbs so im sure hes okay

    and it depends on the file he is using (sense the osx its self only need 2 GB of RAM) so it shouldn't take up his ramm the cpu will still act like a normal cpu
