this is what I got, what Version of 0sx86 will work best?

[Dwiman89]

Hi, im using Linux on one of my boxes and would like to try osx86 on it. im not sure what is most compatable because im new to osx86. Its a Home built computer. These are the hardware specs that I know of.

Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2200+
Memory: 512MB DDR
HDD: 18.4GB IDE
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 256MB, AGP 8X
Displays: (Dual) samsung syncMaster, Dell E156FP

Let me know what would work best. I know the coputer is a little outdated... let me know any other information you might need.

Also, is it possible to kind of build your own osx86 to tailor your computer?

Thank you!

it won't work.
your cpu is not supported.

tham50 is right - you will need at the minimum a CPU that supports SSE2 instruction set to run Leopard - yours doesn't.

The only way to run OS X on such obsolete machines is with using 10.4 Tiger on qemu via a little prepared Linux System that's beeing loaded to RAM, but to be using that you should have at least 1GB of memory....

You can get some Mini-ITX board with Atom 330 CPU for about less then 100€, which would be the way to a cheap but still very compatible Hackint0sh system, I guess...
