(PC running Mac OS X) I've done some research into it but was wondering if anyone here has had a personal experience with one, if so, what are the min system requirements, any pitfalls in loading the system etc?? Any and all help/advice greatly received! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Or you could get a Hybrid cpu/motherboard which supports Hybrid Processors/OS. This is basically a Apple Computer which includes the intel cpu processor and lets you duel boot both Windows and Mac OS (recommended). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I've read a few things that are either really good or nothing but trouble but not much in the middle! I may go down the 'Dual Boot' road instead!

I think the main problem with most "PC" computers is their hardware (other than that fiasco called Vista). I have windows 7 on here, and it's awesome. btw: I put "PC" in quotations for a reason. Why do people called microsoft machines "PC"s? Are all computers "personal computers", mac/dos/ms, or does PC actually mean something else?

You could run OS X on emulator, just for fun You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
