I recommend assigning 4 GB of RAM to the virtual machine, but you can assign as little as 2 GB of RAM.

Resolution For Virtualbox How To Install OS

Weve already shown you how to install OS X Mountain Lion on a virtual machine by using Olarilas Hackboot software, which is great practice for installing Mac OS X on your actual computer.

However, the Hackboot method was rather long and complicated, and there is now an easier alternative available-- iAtkos ML2.

While weve already shown you how to install Mountain Lion on your actual computer with iAtkos, it also works great with virtual machines.

In essence, this method will let you run Mac OS X from inside a program window in Windows.

Its important to note that Windows virtualization programs do not officially support Mac OS X, so you will not be able to enable full graphics support.

You need a computer with Windows to run Mac OS X on Windows (of course).

The System Type of your copy of Windows needs to be 64-bit, because OS X Mountain Lion is a 64-bit operating system.

If you have a 32-bit copy of Windows, you can only install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Virtualbox.

You will need at least 4 GB of RAM and a dual-core (two core) processor or better.

Personally, the computer I was using for this had a 4-core processor and 12 GB RAM, which is way more than enough.

Right click on My Computer on your desktop and click Properties to check the stats on your computer.

If it doesnt directly tell you how many cores your processor has, look up your processor model on Wikipedia or Google.

Computers with AMD processors will not work with Mountain Lion.

Instead, youll have to distros like iAtkos, which is currently the most popular distro for Mountain Lion.

I wont go into details, but you can download these copies from about any bittorrent website by using a bittorrent client (its a.dmg file thats about 5 GB in size).

While Multibeast 4.6.1 is an old version designed for Mac OS X Lion instead of Mountain Lion, in our case, it actually works better than newer versions of Multibeast.

Registration is required on the tonymacx86 website to download this.

Also, if you want to be able to view USB devices from your OS X Mountain Lion virtual machine, download the Virtualbox Extension Pack and run it before going to Step 2.

Resolution For Virtualbox Mac OSX Within Windows

Virtualbox lets you run Mac OSX within Windows by creating a virtual machine, which is a program that simulates a normal computer.

To create a virtual machine, open up Virtualbox and click New on the upper left.

Give your new virtual machine a name, and choose Mac OS X for the OS Type.

If your version of Virtualbox asks you to choose between 64-bit and 32-bit, be sure to choose 64-bit.

Choosing 32-bit will result in a critical Guru Meditation error later on.
