Cool! So, I can dig out my old Compaq Evo and install OSX on it? Bring it on!

Or...are you just limited from the hardware that you can buy from your OS vendor?

Unfortunately, having made the wrong hardware choice then, you won't be able to take advantage of OS X now.

Actually, since Apple has said they were concurrently developing the X86 and PowerPC versions of OS X from day one, their probably IS a version that could be installed. ;^)>

However, we cannot know the contents of your closet. Can you install Windows Vista on that Compaq Evo with a Pentium 4? Yes.

Legally? Probably not.
