Hi

I have a Core i7 860 @ 3.675 GHz + 4GB DDR3 1600 CAS 7 + 6970 2GB. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 installed.

I want to have a dual boot and install Snow Leopard 10.5 too.

1. How do I go about it, is it possible in the first place?

2. Will the OS run smoothly and without too much trouble?

Please guide me step by step as to how to install it as dual boot!

Also, what is the difference btw dual boot and virtual box performance and usage?

You want to dual boot mac with what windows or linux? Dual boot with windows is tricky, but you use it in a virtual machine :)

VMware ftw ! Why the heck do you want to use Snow Leopard for web surfing though o.O AFAIK Windows too has all the browsers available :P

Try looking up for "Hackintosh" on google or the OSX86 project as a starting point.

Installing OSX on a non Apple hardware violates Apple's terms & conditions. It is illegal to do so. Please keep such discussions off the forum.

How about installing in a virtual machine, ie in an virtual environment, is that illegal too??

As far as I know hackintosh comes from apple SDK for each release which are distributed to developers. Dont know if its illegal or not . But I have done a successful triboot with it .iDeneb v10.5.6 was the release that worked with my old setup currently no groups released an edition for my setup/
