Yeah, but I wouldn't do it (unless I could overclock this centris to 10+ GHz). A full week to boot? and what if it crashes? another week? It could take a full year just to install all the drivers. :lol:

Man, I did PEarPC --> OS X on my current k6-2 450 mhz pc and as far as I am concerned, that's as slow a pc as I would ever want to try to emulate OS X on.

Now to try that again on my fresh Athlon 64 socket 939 & 1 gb memory pc with X-mas, that's a different story :wink:
