[QUOTE="TechieJustin, post: 1015139, member: 78233"] I'll pretend I didn't see something along the lines of "install Windows over OSX." :Angry: Joking aside - you can't on the G5. G5 is a chip from IBM/Motorola and speaks a different language. It is called 'Power Architecture" [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Architecture]Power Architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] Intel chips speak a language called x86-64. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64]x86-64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] Windows is compiled for x86-64 only. OSX up to Leopard (10.5.8) could run on PPC [B]and[/B] Intel. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Os_x_leopard]Mac OS X Leopard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] Snow Leopard has been the only MacOS that can run exclusively on Intel; which created a bit of a stink with some users. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_osx_snow_leopard]Mac OS X Snow Leopard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] OK, did I get all that right? Am I a mac-phile or what? [/QUOTE]
