Is it possible to get MAC OSX on a PC and have all the stuff work on it? Sound, GFX, Wireless etc?
I was on a friends mac today and had an erection over how sexy it looks and now i want it.
Obv's going to download a copy and read that you can hack it to work on a PC, just looking to see if anyone has done it/experience with it before i need a new pc!

You can install OS X onto Intel architecture with no hacks, AMD is another thing though (which I have no clue about).
I sugest though you either install OS X as a primary OS and run Windows from within it (Windows runs faster than usual in this mode I've heard), or get Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (I know you've got an x64 version of windows, so close Xfire when running the installer else you'll get problems), and install OS X onto that.
I've never used a Mac in my life, so my experience ends here, lol.

the best person to try and get hold of is raith. i think he is running MAC OSX on an AMD machine.

So as i have an Intel CPU/Mobo i should be able to straight download OSX, burn it to disk install and go?
Should be okay to do so, yeah. but don't hold me to that, i've no experience as I said.
Mafialad has recently been experimenting with Macs, so if you can't get hold of Raith, ask Maf.

it is a good os to have very powerfull stuff, but tbh too many things are not compatiable with it ie windows programmes and many games dont work either unless you go out and buy a whole new stack of games... would recomend it for a seccond machine but not your gaming rig..
there is plenty of text to read on the net for you to put it on a windows machine , so have fun and any probs you can ask me and i will do my best to help..
