No, I don't think it's compatible with that Thermalright heatsink or Crosair memory. It might even have problems with ricey cases.


In all seriousness, I believe you can, but only as a virtual machine. I doubt MS VirtualPC (now free) supports it, but VMware can probably do it. There's not much, well zero value, to buying VMware workstation and OSX just to make a VM to run on VMware.

I personally don't see much at all in OS X that I would consider better than XP (at least not enough to outweight cons) other than unix-like stuff like a good terminal. If you want to experiment and dual-boot a new OS, try a fairly easy linux distro like Ubuntu. If you don't have experience with it already, it certainly doesn't hurt to know your way around it and can actually be pretty good for regular use (at least since the past couple years, IMO) if you don't do much gaming, windows development, etc. Best of all, it's free.

heh i used to a be hard core pc/windows person. used to be. still am kind of, just to satisfy the needs of others, but i'm kind of addicted to the mac platform at the moment.

You can certainly do it. I had it on an Inspiron (native installed... not VMWare... doing a google search should come up with lots of results).

Ask Apple.

Ask apple.

All of the Windows users installing OS X on their PCs are going to ruin it for Apple users. Right now Apple users don't have to activate, or register, or provide a cd key or anything like that. In fact, if I wanted to (break the eula) I could install one copy of OS X on all of my Macs. If people continue to pirate it and install it on whatever crappy hardware they have lying around I'll end up having to enter a cd key or do some other ridiculous anti-piracy measure.

So in short, if you want to use OS X, get an Apple machine.
