There are custom chips that add an EFI firmware to a non-Apple PC and since the C2D CPU's have a TPM chip built-in you could theoretically install vanilla OSX on a PC with such features.

Anyway I wouldn't want to break their license agreement so I'll just get a Macintosh computer in a few months. |

nfries88, I don't know what you would demand of a mac, but a cheaper route to consider is a mac mini. I've really liked mine. I got it through Macmall, with some interesting discounts/rebates.

That said I'll have plenty of cash to spare in a few months (I'm flat out broke now) so price isn't an issue for me - I'll probably get a MacBook instead. Last edited by nfries88; 13th November 2008 at 02:25 AM. |

That's besides the point. Just because you can install it doesn't mean it'll run s well as it would on Mac hardware.

Even on the original hardware you have enough bugs to live with and to drive the devs at Apple crazy. That's the prize for _every_ desktop system out there. Apart from that and the fact it's illegal: the guys arround the hackintosh project did a good job in even providing drivers etc. pp. for addon hardware not known to plain MacOS X. So there is a big difference between PR from Cupertino and reality. And if I have a look at some ancient Next machine at the institute I see something real great - even today, something I miss nowadays if I power on the Mac at work. But well for most desktop users - I have to confess - it sucks less.
