Okay, now I am thinking if I might switch from x86 (PC) to PowerPC.
Great move!
But on the net (US and de. Newsgroups, google, apple.com) I didn't find any basic info, what a PowerPC actually IS!?
I thought PowerPc means MOtorola 68k Processor, but can use PC hardware. Is that correct?
IMHO it's one of my favorite CPU's!
It's a CPU architecture that is made by IBM and Motorola (or was)
Can I replace my x86 mainboard by a PPC mainbaord and then
- reuse my VGA card, modem, etc.?
- run Mac OS X?
If you get a Pegasos board for example you can use most of your existing hardware.
You probably can't use the modem if it's internal
If you run LInux you can certainly use your GFX card, if you run MorphOS you will be limited as to the brands and models of card you may use
Running Mac OS X, is possible - I think, using MOL under Linux!
