It might be useful as moral support for those waiting and wondering, "how much longer will this take?"

Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
Intel Pentium 4HT, 3000 MHz (3.75 x 800)
Asus P4P800, Intel Springdale i865PE w' PAT enabled
512 MB (2x256MB PC3200) RAM

2 hours 15 minutes

4:45 am
Started ppc.exe
Set priority realtime, (wouldn't do this if you don't have hyperthreading) then started the osx v10.3 installation.

6:45 a.m.
The installer script stage began and informed that the time remaining was about 32 minutes.

6:56 a.m.
Installer script time left changed to 28 minutes then soon after, to less than a minute. count down by seconds and then computer "rebooted".

6:57 a.m.
Restarted pearpc, set priority to above normal. selected osx partition.

7:03 a.m.
welcome!

So, this can be done in approx ...

2 hours 15 minutes

(or faster, i was downloading things with emule and surfing the web etc.)

amazing program, simply amazing

P4 2.4ghz hyperthreaded 800mhz motherboard
512meg in 2 256meg matched pair ddr 400mhz
XP with all latest updates

4 hours but I was also running qemu which soaked 50%cpu according to task manager. When I killed qemu cpu load went down to 50% which was mainly pearpc.

I suspect it would have been more like 2 1/2 hours on a clean run.

Got 10.3 up and running on 2 systems. I wasn't keeping track of install time, so I can't really say how long it took.

AMD Athlon-M 2000+ Notebook
512mb DDR333- 64mb (shared video memory), 192 dedicated to pearpc when running
40GB 4200RPM ATA 133 HD
WinXP Home
Synaptics Touchpad
800x600 w/ redraw rate = 50

^^^It runs pretty smoothly on this system

Pentium 4 1.8GHz @ 2.2GHz Desktop
1024mb DDR266, 512mb dedicated to pearpc when running
64MB ATI AIW 8500DV
Maxtor 60GB 7200RPM ATA 133 HD
Maxtor 40GB 7200RPM ATA 133 HD (installed on this drive)
WinXP Home
Logitech MX700
800x600 w/ redraw rate = 105

For some reason, if I set the redraw any lower than 105, the program just starts choking, and I can't even see the mouse move

On a 1.4 Ghz Centrino Laptop with 512mb Ram, I believe 50ms refresh rate, 800x600x32.

Also had F@H running in the background, but that gives up its cycles.

It gives the total time in the log window if you switch to everything and look at it in the end.

PearPC 0.2pre on Windows XP (athlon xp optimized)
Duron 1.6Ghz
512MB SDRAM
Voodoo Banshee 16MB (i'm a programmer, why do i need graphics?

)

Took 7 hours for the main stuff, the BSD Subsystem, and stuffit.
Runs like shit even if I give it 256MB RAM and run as Realtime priority.

Just AIM and the occasional IE window or 5. F@H as well, but that is lowest priority.

Lupochen · Post by **Lupochen** » Fri May 21, 2004 10:09 pm

I recommend everyone to use the 0.2pre Version of PearPC.
It seems to be much faster than the 0.1.2 release and gives me the possibility to run Mac OS X in a smooth way ready to do some work with.

Because I'm not able to build for myself, I tried a prebuild Version.
Download such a nightly build at:

Have Fun!

PS: My machine runs a athlon 1Ghz, 384 MB Ram. That's all.

I installed 10.3 (Disk 1 only duh!) last night in around 3+ hours...didn't think to time it.

used 3GB img file, and PearPC 1.2.

I have AMD XP 1900+
1GB memory
Maxtor DiamondMax+ 60GB 7200RMP

I adjusted memory in Ppc config file to 384MB ram before install...used default 128 value on first attempt (bad img file) and saw an increased respnse during initial OS load screens (might just be me though).

After the install, set redraw to 100.

took like 6-8 minutes to boot OS with 0.1.2 Ppc

Switched to pre2 AMD Optimized nightly build and can feel a difference. It is **Almost** usable.

installation time, performance, system specs etc.

installation time, performance, system specs etc.

Try PearPC 0.2pre - It's much faster

PearPC pre2 does feel quicker...
