Hi There - Looking at getting this PC - http://www.freshtechsolutions.co.uk/custom-built-comput...

I will be using Windows 8 to do my day to day tasks. I need Apple OSX for doing certain tasks, that cannot be done on Windows. I also cannot afford a Mac Pro, or any Mac.

Would it be possible to Dual Boot my PC, and have any type of Apple OSX as my second OS?

Thanks

You need a mac to use Mac OS properly.

You may be able to run Mac OS in a Virtual machine, but that won't give the expected results.

While possible, it often doesnt work so easily right out of the box (if at all), and it's supposed to work better with Intel than AMD. Also, it's technically against the license agreement I believe because you wouldnt be running it on an Apple machine, so don't expect any support from them if you choose to do it
