一、安装x86版 OS X的系统要求
问题：有很多网友反映无法完成x86版 OS X的安装，安装进程在文件加载阶段就停止了。
回答：这个问题笔者在安装的时候也遇到过，但是在我重启后再重新安装时就可以顺利安装了。
其实这个版本的 OS X已经是被修改过的，在安装文件中已经加入了SSE3的模拟器，能够用SSE2模拟SSE3的指令。所以只要我们的CPU具有SSE2或者SSE3指令集的话就可以安装。但是由于苹果还没有正式发布x86版的 OS X，所以并不能保证其兼容性。在有些硬件平台上不能安装也是不奇怪的。
我们可以把这个版本 OS X的硬件要求总结为：
SSE3
AMD Athlon 64 X2 (All revisions) - Reports only one cpu, shows 2 activity graphs
AMD Athlon 64 and FX (Venice and SanDiego only)
AMD Turion 64
AMD Opteron (Troy, Italy)
AMD Sempron 64 socket 754 (Some new Palermo revisions do support SSE3 and AMD64, BX (ie- SDA****BXBOX) revision of retail chips, and BX stepping of OEM chips)
Intel Celeron D
Intel Celeron D 345 j+ (3.06 Ghz)
Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott)
Intel Pentium D - System Profiler reports one CPU, but activity monitor shows two. Seems to support SMP.
Intel Xeon (Nocona, Irwindale)
SSE2 - All SSE2 CPU need a patch for Rosetta
AMD Opteron (sledgehammer)
AMD Dual Opteron works fine SMP
AMD Athlon 64 and FX (newcastle, clawhammer, winchester, barton) barton shouldnt be listed here without SSE2，and earlier FX51/FX53 is SledgeHammer like Opteron
AMD Sempron socket 754 (K8 based)
Intel Pentium 4 pre prescott
Intel Pentium M
Intel Celeron D
Intel Celeron M
Intel Celeron (Williamette, Northwood)
Intel Xeon (P4 based) - System Profiler reports one CPU, but activity monitor shows two.
Qemu Virtual CPU 0.7.1 (slow, emulates SSE2/EM64T)
也就是说最好是intel cerleron D以上和AMD Sempron 64以上的，最低也要是普通cerleron。其他的k7平台都不能支持！
显卡这个问题大了，几乎没有几款显卡能完全正常工作！
完全正常只有：Integrated i915G Intel GMA900 ，Integrated i945G Intel GMA950 ，Integrated 82865G (device id 8086 2572 ，Silicon Image Orion ADD2-N Dual Pad x16 （也是915G，HP的）

Radeon Mobility FireGL T2 - Bootloader sees card as Mobility 9700 w/ 128mb VRam, behaves just like Mobility 9700. Reason for drivers not loading correctly is that the AGP-PCI bridge driver doesn't load. You cpcwven with the driver kext loading correctly my display comes up purple tinged and still not video accelerated, so more work is needed. [Addendum] Shows up as Radeon Mobility 9600 for me (maybe yours is a T2e?) and runs fine w/ VESA 2.0 at 1400x1050x32; horrible artifacting when loading ATI kext --> unusable.
