I have never posted before here so hopefully this is the right place. I am a long time PC User. My wife is in love with mac's and always has been. I built my machine which is running windows 7. I would love to dual boot it with mac os so I can play and see how the two compare...

However, I am clueless how to go about doing this. I am very handy and knowledgeable with windows and pc's but lost when it comes to mac. First off, how can I or do I even need to ensure my hardware is compatible?

Second, how do I go about starting the dual boot process? Can I just buy Snow Leopard and install or do I need a certain package?
