For you hackintosh gurus, is it possible to install osx on my old Thinkpad x22? I've searched all over google and cant seem to find a solid answer. I hope I posted this in the correct forum. I have a MBP already and would love to have this lightweight thinkpad to carry around with osx on it. Thanks again!

Windows XP will work.
Windows 98se will work a dream. That's what I'd put on it.

98se is useless.

I had the same machine, XP works great on it. Hackintosh won't happen without SSE2, and even so, Leopard and Snow Leopard really really hate machines/chipsets that are older.
 
darn. thanks for the replies guys 🙂

i have xp pro sp2 running on it and its fine.. was just hoping to have osx. oh well 🙂
