    but still MAC OS X can now run on Intel-based CPUs provided with the SSE, SSE2 or SSE3 instructions.

    Mac OS X is X86 at least I think, because it runs on the same type of processor as are present in X86 Windows computers.

    i'VE successfully installed Mac OS X 10.5.2 on my acer aspire 4715z with Vista in it, just install Mac as like with windows, and then when dual booting it, try changing active partitions to vista and then repair the boot loader for vista since mAc destroyed it, and then after that vista should boot up, and then change the active partition to mac os x, and so you'll be getting a bootstrap from Darwin , a loader from mac os x

    Have a picture? I'm interested, although I'll probably never attempt to run Mac OS on Vista. The whole idea still intrigues me, though.

    Sweet! Never thought this was possible, at least until now. If I ever git a bigger hard drive, I might try this.

    I think you can find it on Apple Website. Since apple being very generous they allow to install Windows on Mac systems. But i really don't know whether you can install mac after installing Windows.

    I'd love to know how to do that, it is a rather interesting prospective. I tried it before and hit numerous dead ends haha

    yeah you may able to install Mac OS X 10.5.4 (latest version) after installing windows provided that you are using a pre-patched DVD of Mac OS X like iAtkos, which I'm using right now

    mmh, just wondering if you guys think about what you are doing. Do you know why Apple can develop such a powerful and advanced operation system ? -Because their clients pay ! That is why I think you should switch to a real Mac. Also a real Mac is much faster than any fake as bios can not emulate efi like a real efi.
