I got it running on my athlon 64 X2 3800+, with 7900gt working, sound works, and itunes runs smooth as butter.. I wrote how i did it here: http://www.jake.phatoproductions.com/blog in the “operating systems” category

I think it will get EXTREMELY slow if you have just 512K of RAM, lol

I would like to know how well it performs on an athlon64 based machine with 512k of ram? If it can come close to a g4 at 700 to 800mhz its really worth it.

Are you running it on a U?!!?

It’s slow. I have a G4/450, and it’s slower than that. But, it works. The install took several hours, I cant get networking working, and typing seems to go in slow motion.

But, it’s fun to play around with. :)

I would dual boot it or not do it. I don't think there are touch screen drivers for it but it would still be useful without it since the U has such good controls. Besides, it's to see if it can be done. :)

If you do install it on the U, I want pictures pictures pictures! In fact, I want your address ... heh-heh.

Can you dual boot? Is it worth giving up Windows on the U James?

Also: how would you aquire the drivers (like for the touchscreen, all the buttons and such) to work under the Mac OS?

Just curious… :D

Steve, how slow is It? I am seriously considering installing this on the Sony U to have a Mac handheld.

It actually works really well – in fact, I’ve even install Mac Office into work – works fine (albeit slow).

More ‘tips’ I found during my install:
