Yes sir, today I tri-booted XP/Vista/OS X 10.4.8 :D Super happy. Everything thing works really well. Now I just want to learn how to use some Linux too so I can add it to the equation haha. Only have live boot disks for Linux cores.

Has anyone else done the OS X boot on the pc yet?

How about a link to the exact instructions you used to do it?

I'd like to learn.

That is where you can learn how to do it all. There is a massive list of hardware too. Don't be afraid if you have AMD hardware either...it still can work. My motherboard wasn't listed and I had no problems installing. I used a JaS 10.4.8 AMD-Intel-SEE2-SEE3 with PPF1 and PPF2 to do it all. The last thing I have to get for my Mac Part is network drivers.
I know I have an update that I can get a hold of. But I think I am just gonna wait till Leopard is released..cause its not the easiest OS to upgrade.

There are a metric buttload of security fixes in 10.4.9. Update. It's easy, click the little apple, select software update, and hit install when it comes back with the update.

n0cmonkey I would but I don't have working ethernet drivers yet. I am still working on drivers for my 680i ethernet. I thought about buying a pci ethernet card that supports OS X right out of the box and make it easy but I figured I can at least try first and save myself a few bucks...cause I really don't need 3 NICs on the computer...my motherboard already has 2...

Every machine made by Apple in the past 10 years has ethernet built in. There's no reason not to have working ethernet.

Well the computer doesn't have an apple logo on it. So maybe there is a reason.

edit: Although, I tried to draw one...it was quite pathetic.

I have live discs of linux...I really just don't use it. Don't have anything to do on it. So I just didn't take the extra time.
