NVIDIA Ion desktop - Is it OSx86 compatible?

Well I just got a Twitter from apple about the new NVIDIA Ion desktop.
Now the first thing that caught my eye was ONLY $200??? That blew my mind.

Here are the highlights:
  • 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor
  • 9400M-based graphics
  • Play 1080p video at a full frame rate
  • Plays Call of Duty 4 or SimCity 4 with reasonable preformance.
  • supports as much as 4GB of memory, 250GB of hard drive space, and 6 USB peripherals

Here are two pictures of this sexy piece of computer



Curious to see if OSX86 will run on it

Even if it couldn't run OS X I'd be happy to throw Linux onto it. $200 is a real bargain! I'm loving these small form factor machines more and more.
