iPhone Development on OSx86

[effward]

So this is my situation: I have a powerful gaming PC that I built myself, and I am going off to college next year. I have been doing iPhone app development for the past year using a macbook that I am borrowing from a friend, but I can't take the macbook with me to college. So the problem is that I want to continue iPhone development without having to buy a macbook. However, in order for this to work I need to run OSx86 on my desktop and do all my iPhone development on the desktop.

So my question is, can I run all of the iPhone Development tools in OSx86 and can I sync up an iPhone/iPod to test my apps?

Yes, you can. It works fine, just like on a "real" Mac!

If you're using an AMD processor, don't install the CHUD tools, though (uncheck at the installation). They are known to cause a kernel panic.

If you install the CHUD tools and get a kernel panic, you don't have to reinstall Mac OS X. Simply boot into Leopard in single user mode (-s), type "mount -uw /" (to be able to read and write) and delete all CHUD extensions by typing "rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/CHUD*"

Ok, awesome. I am running a Core 2 Duo, so that hopefully won't be a problem.
