And only 32 MB of RAM. Gotta love the idle at over 50% CPU.

Its one of the features of the MAC OS that ANY and EVERY MAC machine EVER will boot ALL MAC OSes...

So, you can install, and run OSX on the very first MAC.

I remember seeing a web site where someone did just that, and it took slightly longer than 7 full days to boot successfuly! EEK :D

thats like saying you can get Mac Classic to boot on a 286. Its also like saying you can run linux on a 80286(it lacks the needed hardware for switching between real and protected memory without rebooting, which is needed to boot all modern 32-bit x86 OSs).

OSX only supports Macs running a PowerPC chip, and only with third party software.
