I have an iBook, and I love it! I want to run OS X on my desktop, and I know that you can run it on an intel platform, but I don't know about running it on an AMD platform. (I have an AMD Athlon XP 1.9GHz) it haz 380GB hard drive, and 512MB of RAM.
Thanks.
PS< if theres an emulator, I need a free one!

see These are the system requirements for OS X
OS X just rubns fine on AMD
APPLE ON X86 IS a tempest in a teapot. People are way overblowing the impact of the beta release on not-even-close-to-final hardware, and the tin foil hat crowd is having a heyday. Everything from how to pirate it and to conspiracy theories running rampant.
If you notice, we have been avoiding those because it is, frankly, rather a little boring, my dears.

Make sure your hardware can run Mac OS X Version 10.4 Tiger
Mac OS X Version 10.4 requires a Macintosh with:
PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
Built-in FireWire
At least 256MB of physical RAM
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive; 4GB of disk space if you install XCode 2 developer tools
DVD drive for installation

The AMD chips support pretty much everything the Intel chips support so you should be able to run it.
Though apple do have code to prevent their OS from running on non-apple computers so you'll need to crack to install it.
