I believe my hardware should be sufficient to run OS X Snow Leopard.

It's much harder than it looks than just hardware and installing it. Have to go hunting down for some very specific (and often nonexistant) drivers that only work on Mac. I've tried it before and it wasn't a very pretty ending.

You also can never run System Update on a Hackintosh (since it breaks the whole system everytime).

I have been checking into it. It will involve methods that are not good to speak about on here. I have seen it and used one, though. I've seen it work well, and not work so well.

Well said Neo7! i must hand it to you Cheat Happens are really lucky having a Wiz like you,i voted i did not know what a Hackintosh was and i still don't know.lol

A Hackintosh is a Mac OS X Operating System running on a Non-Apple (Or PC) Computer.

Thanx Unbreakable! who on earth wants a mixed bag of tricks like that?,this is curiosity on my part,also why would you go to all that trouble?.

I don't think I'm going to do it. I have a copy of Snow Leopard, but from what I've gathered, it'll wipe out my other operating systems on my hard drive. I'd rather that not happen.

I have never really liked Mac so I don't really see the point in putting that onto a PC with windows. I prefer Windows to Mac.
