Is it possible and if so could I dual boot Win 7 and a Mac OS?

 Scout around the interwebz for VMWare OSX loaded virtual machines. You can also look up OSX86.

Its time to grow up guys and stop spreading shit daily.

Your hardware needs to be almost identical to a Macs, for example, I am using an Intel processor on my Toshiba laptop which has Mac OS running on it.

Partition the Hard Drive first, so it looks as if you have 'Two Hard Drives'

You can then install another OS on the 'Second Hard Drive'

I have seen Windows on a Mac, so I see no reason why it should not work

If youre PC is strong enough, it can dual boot 2 systems at once... But again: you need a strong PC...


Do not be afraid of things you do not know (yet)...

You will also need an Intel Processor

You are all wrong you need about a custom built computer with at least 6-8 gb(witch windows 7 does not support that much ram) of ram and at min an intel duel processor to just barely run a mac but to run windows on a mac you only need 1-2 gb of free ram to run windows and more preferable either partition your hard drive or have two.



I work at an apple store for 2 and a half months now and in the back we test these things because people do come in and ask questions


btw if you have OSx on a pc it called a hackintosh ;)

Mac OS X runs perfectly fine on my Toshiba C650 Laptop (Specs can be found here: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-C650-10W/1087632/toshibaShop/false/ )

There is also a video of a Toshiba Laptop running mac OS X, which can be found here: OS X Leopard on Toshiba Laptop

you can run mac osx on any pc but it kills you pc hardware because it works it to much unless you got just enough spec's to run it
Read a Macs Specs

Lets Face it, a Mac with a 2GHZ processor is better than a PC with a 2GHZ processor.

We can also say that a Mac does a better job OF... Movie editing. photo editing, graphic design etc.
PCs do a better job at gaming, and general mucking around

I can also deduct that... a PC IS A LOT BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY, because to get an equivalent spec Mac, you pay double the price.
