Again, not true.

I have had two systems (one AMD and one Intel) 100% working with OSx86. My current Intel hack boots up in ~ 10 seconds. Tools such as GeekBench and XBench have proven Hackintoshes to run faster than real Macintoshes (espcially games performance, since you have a much wider range of graphics cards to use). When I go to PCWorld, the Mac's on show are around the same (if not slower) than my Hackintosh.

On the link to the wiki I posted, there are endless lists of compatible hardware, along with community written drivers for them. Me? I have ethernet drivers, graphics drivers, wireless card drivers, on-board sound drivers all working 100%.

It's like a real Mac. In fact, it might as well be.

Also, it's really not that hard to find a version that supports your computer specs.

no it's not hard, you're just not looking hard enough or searching for the proper "name".
i have 2 versions of X86

hehe thats were you're wrong.
I did 2 install on mine and on a friends Pc's works fine, all drivers are there.
The OS speed and apps which was built for the Mac itself is fine, and yes i agree with the part where you say photoshop is slow, that one is true, the photoshop boot up takes like 45 sec on mine but once youve started using it it's ok.

I upload them to photobucket. Did you try the "Options" button right near the upload button and click "Up to 1MB file size"?
