It seems that someone may have modified their Apple TV to run OSX. Before I go on, keep in mind that this is April Fools day so it has an equal chance of being real as it does being fake.
The Apple TV has rather limited hardware being powered by a 1GHz Pentium M processor which is under clocked (based off the Pentium 3 line not the newer Pentium 4 or Pentium D lines), features 256MB of memory and a Geforce 7300 graphics card with 64MB of memory. It actually has a better video card than the MacBook (now that’s just tragic) but none of these components really need to do much.
It has the standard 10/100 Ethernet port, WiFi a/b/g wireless (what no n support?) and a whole slew of video and audio outputs. I just wanted to concentrate on the hardware that actually makes it work.
I think my problem is how fast and responsive it is with just a Pentium M (III) 1GHz processor and 256MB of memory with OSX 10.4.8 running on it. It just seems to be running a bit fast, more like it is running with a Core Duo processor and 1GB of memory.
The system profiler does show a processor running at 1GHz and 256MB of DDR2 400 memory. Here is a video of the Apple TV allegedly booting OSX. If you’re looking for a how-to you will find that right here.
Then again, I wouldn’t mind having a $300 Mac (as limited as it is), it would still suit me nicely since right now I’m surrounded by two PCs running Vista which are exclusively used for audio/video editing and gaming, I really don’t NEED a Mac to do all that (but it sure would be nice to have one). On second thought, after reading the how-to, it’s almost not worth it.
