The Mac OS X operating system is optimized for Intel processors. If you buy the right parts, you can put together a capable Mac computer for around $600. Since Apple’s switch from the PowerPC architecture to Intel’s x86, it has become very easy to install Mac on a PC. People who want Mac only to test something out or use a single app that’s not available on Windows will probably do just fine with an emulated Mac computer. Those who love the usability of Mac OS X but don’t like how expensive Apple’s hardware is should build a full-blown Hackintosh, which is a PC with Mac OS X. So, which installation method you should choose? It depends on your needs.

The former option gives you the best performance you can get, while the latter option is a lot simpler. If you want to install Mac on PC, you have two basic options how to do it: you can either install the Mac OS X operating system directly on a drive or use a Mac emulator for Windows.
