@joe916: An i7 was selected for this guide because they're "top of the line", fairly inexpensive, and are used by Apple*, which means out of the box support with minimal effort.

@john.destefano: It's much more complicated than modifying a few Kext's. Installing OS X on an AMD system, while technically possible, is usually far too much trouble than it's worth, as it involves replacing the official "Darwin" kernel with a third party, or "chocolate" one, most commonly the Voodoo kernel.

@Justin C Cummings: If you can get an IDE DVD drive to work, good on ya!

@fmazon3: How you ever got approved is beyond me.

@McGoogles: It's technically possible to dual boot off of a single hard drive, but you'll quickly discover conflicts with the cranky Windows bootloader and Chameleon (used for a hackintosh). All can be solved with a cheap $50 HDD from NewEgg. With two you don't have to be afraid of accidentally nuking your Windows…

@philosopher_dog: Yes, and yes.

@dibs ODDJOB:

Jizzmodo?

This is the best title for any article ever.

@John Hautzinger: Perhaps this will help.

Wewt

@morphoyle: Valid points all of them.

@muchosandwich: Le sigh…

@Patrick Hogan: Thing is, it doesn't look minimal at all. Look at the Star icon. It has reflections and a drop shadow, like it's saying "Look at me! Open me, I'm the best!" The folder icon could almost be minimal, but then they went ahead and used a larger than necessary bolded font! And why do the Previous/Next…
