Apple has released x86 Version of MAC OS 10.4 Tiger which i have downloaded off the Torrents and Installed and worked on it.
If worked fine on my Dual Core Dell SC430 Server.
It should work fine on any x86 Compatible Processor.
If you need any further clarification please get back to me.
Check the above link for more info on running MAC on x86

It might be possible. You must hack the kernel first, and make sure your motherboard is compatible. So the answer is basically no unless you specifically selected each part in your computer to be compatible with OSX (this is because hardware support is so horrible). If you did not build the PC yourself the chances are even slimmer. Not to mention it is illegal to hack the kernel or give info. about it unless you both have the license and exploit a loophole in their EULA.

Yes, it is possible. You'll probably have to reformat your harddrive by putting the OS X discs in your computer and select erase all on disc (your harddrive) and it will install Macintosh OS X. I've never installed mac on a pc.. but if you can put windows on a mac, I'm pretty sure you can put mac on pc hardware. Because the only difference between a pc and a mac is the software.

No you cannot install because mac hardware is different form the Intel based PCs.

go to you tube.... in the search bar type in OS/X on a PC
Now question why do you want to put OS/X on your system.. all software for the mac is very expensive and costs more than it does for microsft software..
now if you want a Superior operating system for your 64 bit core 2 system then go for a true 64 operating system one that out shines OS/X and windows Vista Ultimate
Linux is a true 64 bit system you can download it for free, with all the software you will ever need all free.
there are several versions of Linux (windows) do some research into Linux...
you can download it from the web sites below.
download the 64 bit versions they are easy to install and easy to use, and there is lots of support and manuals that you can download, for learning with
if you need help give me a call

I dont think so. MAC OS is specifically designed for MAC computers. Though you may be able to find a MAC version for NON MAC PC's, but I'm not sure about it.
