XP/OSX/Ubuntu

[k1001001]

Hey guys. I'm thinking about getting a new computer, and I'm looking at the Dell XPS desktop for the time being. I know that booting between XP and Ubuntu should be no problem, but I'm also wondering if I could also boot into Mac OSX, or if I could even install it on the computer at all. If I could get all three going with a massive FAT share partition, that would be simply amazing. So bottom line, could OSX be installed and booted into using PC architecture?

No, unless you get the... speculative (legality-wise) OSx86, because OSX only works on Apple hardware. You might get it to work in a VM, though, but I'm no expert in that.

If you want to legally use OS X, you'll need an Apple computer.

Get a Mac and use BootCamp to install XP and Ubuntu on it.

Need to have a bleedin' Dell/Mac merger. :D

Still, Mac OSX will run on an Intel Chipset, It might install, but there's no guarantee any of your hardware will be compatible.
