HOW TO: Convert a Mac into an x86

inventgeek writes "With the recent announcements Apple has made regarding its operating environment, Inventgeek.com has a mod that seems rather fitting. They have converted a Mac G3 to an Intel P4 System capable of running Windows or Linux. Full how to is available on there site for those brave enough to bask in what many say could be Apples greatest folly, and a blow to Linux." Update: 06/08 17:53 GMT by T : A few further Mac-OS-X-on-Intel notes, about the new Intel development kit from Apple: Readers jimboman78 and shooflot sent in, respectively, links to (mostly positive) comments on the front page of Accelerate Your Mac and a more skeptical but equally preliminary description at Think Secret.

This will be made illegal by bogaboga · 2005-06-08 05:42 · Score: 0, Troll

If and when Apple learns of this, the EULA will be modified to make any attempt to convert an Apple illegal. Time will tell.

inventgeek you dumb retard. You put a P4 into a Mac case. Wow. timothy what were you thinking by accepting this as newsworthy. I can put a P4 into a cardboard box. Next on Slashdot: MAN CONVERTS CARDBOARD BOX INTO AN X86 or perhaps: LOCAL MAN RUINS EVERYTHING also, your writeup should say "an X86" not "a X86".
