    Will 10.6.8 install to 2011 hardware?

    Oh I get that, I just assume that someone somewhere must've done it before, because I hear that someone installed it to X but can never track down an HCL entry so it's unverified. Any idea on dual CPU server boards (even if with a single cpu if that somehow matters)? My ideal goal is to use an...

    Which OSX's are free again..??

    I think you misunderstand, it's an ORIGINAL DISC that he bought and paid for back in the day, an original from the factory came in a box install disc. Since it's years old and the mac he had it for died he didn't need it anymore. However my assumption was just like even if I had an original...

    Which OSX's are free again..??

    Posting back in this thread because realized something else... is Mavericks considered 100% free even for raw metal install? (ie "a friend sends me a disk, as opposed to only upgrading from say a 10.6 install disc) I assume that legally I can only make one legal install from my 10.6 disk (even...

    Will 10.6.8 install to 2011 hardware?

    Does it matter which chipset (at least consumer vs workstation) is used or should it work with all? I'm specifically trying to build off a workstation board because I want to run at least 64gigs of ECC DDR3 on it for heavier video work. (no consumer board seems to handle more than 32gig, and...

    Will 10.6.8 install to 2011 hardware?

    So I have a Snow Leopard original install disc around somewhere that I was given years ago (but never built into a mac at a time) and I just found out I can't upgrade it or get 10.7 or 10.8 as a freebie... since that came out in 2009 is that the only hardware likely to work with it? I'm aware...

    Which OSX's are free again..??

    Right, i've got a Snow Leopard install disc around here somewhere. So that means I cant upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 (if for some reason I wanted them specifically), I could only go to 10.9 or later? I see things like this https://os-x-lion-update.en.softonic.com/mac which look like some I assume...

    Which OSX's are free again..??

    Hi, if anyone searches/remembers my past posts I got a little held up (am a college student and thought i'd have summer off to build up my Mac but ended up needing to take certain summer classes afterall to get them in).. i'm still in the earliest stage of a Hackintosh. I have some hardware...

    who uses older (<10.13) OSX and why?

    Hi, i'm still in the research phase of my first hackintosh and i'm trying to pick brains to help understand things that may affect future build decisions. I was told that 10.12 is the last OSX to actually allow you to use Final Cut Pro 7, even if it's already installed and working. (updating...
