I don't know if you can as OS-X requires SSE3 instruction set within the cpu. Pentium 4's afaik didn't support that instruction set.

Hi Patrick,

Sorry I couldn't have gotten to you sooner!

I used iAtkos V5i DVD on my G40 and followed this video exactly:

Mine is in a P4, 3.0 GHZ w/ 1.5GB RAM. Leopard 10.5.5 runs okay (slow) but you'll have no wifi, and no sound at first. It took a lot of googling to get the sound to work but still no wifi via PCMCIA card.

I did update to 10.5.6 but had to buy an external USB WIFI stick "Trendnet TEW-424UB" to get the wifi to work. Thing is though, you'll have to have all your USB gadgets plugged in prior to booting up 10.5.6 as for some reason it won't recognize any USB ports when already on!

It was too much of a hassle to get it to work so I just ended up putting WIN7 Ultimate on it instead!
