It is a nice wish of Apple to protect their profit margin and you seem to be inclined to help them do it. More money for the company, less for you as the customer. >While I would never actually condone installing OS X on unsupported software (which is a violation of Apple’s licensing agreement),

in fact, it's faster than my macmini g4 1,42GHZ.

so the problem of the 7 min was beccause the old bios, and the slowly original ssd

I'm typing this in Firefox on the 4+16GB 901 running OS X 10.5.5. You can't expect to get some serious work done on this machine, but it's quite alright for browsing the web, reading Email and the occasional ssh session. In fact, I'm surprised how well the tiny machine performs. rsm is right … with the hacked BIOS the machine is quite usable with OS X. I'm typing this in Firefox on the 4+16GB 901 running OS X 10.5.5.

You need a 866Mhz cpu as a minimum. I wonder was this test done on the 900Mhz version of the 901 or the new faster 1.6Ghz?
