Mac's use PC hardware, there is hardly anything special about Mac's hardware.
Well, it is a very specific set of PC hardware, to be precise. It is possible to run OS X on a PC provided that it's an Intel and has similar/same type of graphics and sound attached...
Yes but you can buy off those from the market for half the price combined. You need an 4xxx ATi card or newer and one of newer Intel processors to run Mac on PCs reliably, have done it quite a few times before.
The way it's meant to be

Not to sound like a fanboy but the reality is exactly the opposite. Mac's use PC hardware, there is hardly anything special about Mac's hardware. It's Mac OS X that actually makes a difference(if any).
Using that logic, I can run OS X on my AMD... nope, doesn't work like that.

No, but you *can* run them on an Intel based PC. The only reason it doesn't work so well on an AMD is simply because the Mac hardware setup is all Intel based, so everything's compiled for Intel. Some stuff will work, some stuff won't, and some will be workably fragile.

<!--[if lt IE 9]> <p>Hi. It looks like you're using a retarded web browser. If you want to stop being an asshole, either upgrade your browser to Internet Explorer 9 or get another browser like Firefox, Opera or Chrome. If you don't want to do this because you are stupid or at work, kindly be informed that this webpage will look like shit. Have a nice day.</p> <![endif]-->
The frustration of coding, man. I've actually implemented the above in a couple of my websites. It's probably gonna piss a few people off, and some people don't choose to run IE6 but I don't really care x]

IE 8 is almost fine but this specific site is one where I don't really want/need people with who don't know how to computer. I want the features of IE9/FF4/Safari5/Opera11/Chrome12 and I don't have any reason not to restrict myself to supporting those, I will go for it. ;)

Actually, you can.

Not particularly reliably. Like I said, some stuff will work just fine, some won't and some will be temperamental. A fair amount depends on how it was compiled, stuff compiled from the likes of gcc will likely be more stable and less glitchy, because it's not compiled with Intel specific optimisations for the most part.

That doesn't rule out the fact that it can be done, and many people do run it with enough stability for day to day tasks.

*nods* I was agreeing with you :P I don't believe the Hackintosh installer likes it much and I know some Apple apps refuse to run though.

Sea Mac, you posts look dreadful.

 :whistle:
:eheh: So? I don't like your grammar.
I'd say "Your" posts look dreadful instead of "you posts look dreadful" myself.

What you gonna do about it? Not read 'em? Fine with me.

In case you haven't guessed: I don't follow the crowd.

So I'm GLAD I'm not like you! (especially the attitude. I live and let live, personally: and don't flame newbies. There's always got to be a Troll around: not contributing to the post, but trying to hurt peoples feelings.)
