so im reading about installing macs on pc and am preparing to get the hardware needed to run the software, im currently browsing through and have not yet got anywhere with regards to my intended system, now the main reason im interested is that im a logic user and am stuck on logic audio platinum, which is a great program, but i wanna try somethin more recent ie 7 or 8, i have a hp machine on which i run logic 5 and would be interested to know if it will run leopard until i get the money to build a new system, these system specs are from sandra so they are quite indepth and i believe its an sse2 compliant system no sse3 support

again sorry about how much info is there but any help would be very much appreciated so i can get out of the dark ages, i would like to say as well i have been searchin around on this site and its a great resource. i understand to post this for a first post seems rather cheeky but not got much in the way of info to contribute cus im a noob

Yeah, your computer should be able to run Leopard easily.
If you choose to, I reccomend iAtkos.

The only reason i say that is I own a Compaq Presario with 2Gb of ram @ 1.47GHz. So if mine can run it smooth, yours can.

thanks mate il give it a go in a min did you need any additional kexts or whatever for audio and video
