My prebuilt HP Pavillion works just fine as my primary OS. I dual boot Vista as well but only use it maybe 20 minutes out of every week at most.
This is the real thing if you have the desire to make it work. |

I built a hackintosh. I was due to upgrade my machine so I made sure everything I got was OSX compatible. Been using a hackintosh as my main system since the deadmoo, maxxus days. Works great just have to be careful with updates but I have a second partition to test the update before I do it to my main working system.

Question isn't, is it as good as the real thing, but is it better?
It's certainly cheaper, and most of the problems I get are ones that peeps get on real macs, the only difference there is that instead of waiting for apple to get it's finger out, one of our many genius friends in the osx86 community usually comes up with a fix. |

It a matter of getting the right hardware. If your like me and just try and pop in the disk you'll probably have problems. Luckily most problems are easy to fix. It seems like (for me) OSX doesn't run as smooth as on a real mac but thats because Im still trying to work around a couple glitches. One thing I really like is that I have a great video card that is probably 10 times better than a macbook. If you plan ahead you will definitely want to try and get a good Intel CPU instead of AMD because if you've been reading the forums you would know that Intel runs more like a real mac and installing updates is a lot easier.

there are still a handful of people selling gigabyte p35's in my country. most of them are ds3r's, and some ds3ps -- although people selling it are really hiking up the prices!
