    Hello everybody. My sister and my parents of recently bought iMacs for themselves and I like the smoothness of the OS. I still can't say it's more useful then windows but I would like to use it.

    I have an Asus EEE 1005ha PC and I have heard from multiple people that you can install OS X on it. I am not familiar with the software versions of OS X, I think 10.6.5 is the highest so far.

    Well anyway I would like to Dual Boot windows XP and OS X on my eee pc (which has 160 gigs btw). The problem is I don't know exactly what I need or how to go about doing it. I have been searching for a guide on how to do it but I can't find a good one.

    Has anybody done this and do you know where I can find a decent guide?

    just letting you know this thread will be closed as discussing Hackintosh (installing an Apple OS on a windows PC) is against the forum rules, not to mention a violation of EULA for Apple.

    Yep. Currently, Apple's EULA(End User License Agreement) prohibits installing MAC OS X on any non-apple labeled hardware, and because of this, NBR does not allow discussion of OS X on PC(aka Hackintosh) for any reason. Also, please do not point to any resources that violate Apple's EULA and/or the forum rules.
