windows to mac

[noagname]

If i have a pci express audio card that works for windows can i put that in a mac and use that? If the mac has windows installed in it

I always wonder why you can't install a mac operating system on your Windows.

 

[Shawn]

yea

I don't see why not, if you have the drivers for it. BTW. wrong forum.

 

[noagname]

well don't ask me

As long as the mac supports the type of card, hardware-wise, then yes the operating system will be fine with it.

 

[noagname]

what do you mean hardware-wise

 

[Ruptga]

as long as there's actually a physical PCIe slot that'll take the card you're plugging in, yes of course it will work

 

[noagname]

thanks i thought so

and my last question is where can i buy parts that work for a mac? like a tv tuner or audio card

There may be a few PCI sound cards that would work under OSX, but none that I could specifically name. No Creative sound cards have OSX drivers.
Most dual-boot situations tend to only use the onboard Realtek audio.
As for TV tuner cards, there exist Mac-specific cards, but no dual-use/dual-boot (Windows and OSX) TV tuner cards.

noagname, if you are are interested in osx86 you should ask in the operating systems from or check out http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showforum=85 , just note that it can be tricky ot setup and even if you buy a copy of tiger or leopard your aren't legally allowed to install it on a non mac machine.
