Psystar's Rebel EFI -- Snow Leopard on a PC

26.10.2009

It seems like Psystar still has a lot of homework to do when it comes to drivers and hardware compatibility.

Psystar's Rebel EFI is an interesting tool, but it is very limited when it comes to the selection of hardware that you can use. The company really needs to create a compatible hardware list and post that on its Web site -- and it also needs to create some usable documentation.

As it stands right now, you can use Rebel EFI to build a Mac clone, but unless you stick to relatively generic hardware, you will be disappointed. On the other hand, if you just want to poke around OS X to see what the fuss is all about, Rebel EFI could prove to be an effective way for PC users to become familiar with OS X before shelling out for an Apple Macintosh. In that case, though, I suggest that you test your hardware first using the free download version of the product.
