gamehead200 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 i have a g4 mac pc. and i want to put windows xp on it would xp recognize the mac hardware?No... The processor and a few other components are completely different and aren't compatible... Use a Virtual PC! if i have a normal "pc" and i installed mac os x on it would recognoze that hardware.No, see above...pretty much does mac os require only mac hardware to run?Yes, right now...
