Will OSX work on an older P4
I have an older P4 2.4GHz, with 512MB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce 2X video card. Would OSX work on this machine or is it too old? Thanks.

While I am not sure about the Video Card, I am guessing not, I ran Tiger and later Leopard on a 2.4 GHz P4 with 512, later 786MBs and on an 80GB Hard Drive. It ran with out any problems with Tiger, but Leopard (10.5.1 and 10.5.2) had a kernel panic here and there.
I would say it should work, best thing to do is to try it out.
If you want some assistance installing Leopard on your hardware contact me @ [email protected]
