latest Apple Macs are powered by Intel CPU, or its more widely known as being Intel Inside, which means, a couple of years back, a project by Apple called Project Marklar (supposingly a secret project researching/experimenting/testing/ a version of Mac OS X on Intel x86 architecture) was indeed REAL.

the news is now worldwide and of course some likes the idea and some don't. for some techies (which that includes me) start having the idea of "running Mac OS X using my current hardware" which is not released by APPLE of course. most reason will be related to $$$$, since Apple's hardware are not cheap and alot of people still can't afford to buy it. i won't be complaining on that since Apple's hardware design and architecture are awesome than any of the hardware companies i've seen.

to run the OS on standard x86 hardware, we just need to make sure 1 thing; our current CPU must be using the SSE2 or SSE3 instruction set. from what i've checked, latest CPU offerings (both from Intel and AMD) supports both of these instructions.

i have been watching the progress of booting Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware (and vice versa) closely, especially the coexistance of Mac OS X+Windows XP ( a dream come true, i'm sure..) and later on i add another thing to my thought: "why not coexist Mac OS X+Windows XP+Linux altogether?" that will be a 'dream come true! that was just a dream a couple of years back! NOT ANYMORE!!

i found the link to the guide at toxicle's blog (thanx man!). its triple boot using GRUB (darn, i never like using GRUB and i have always been using LILO... i might have to change my mind on that... OR maybe i'll make it work with LILO instead... who knows.. just wait and see). please check the guide if you are interested too!
