    Short answer: No

    Long answer: Yes but requires an emulation of the Mac architecture.

    you could always try the mac software first.

    us VMware and install a preconfigered os right on ur windows pc. :D

    and if you like it , just leave it there, use both!

    bit more difficult making a hackintosh with an amd processor but you could read forums like http://tonymacx86.com/ for advice.

    I put snow leopard on my pc following a lifehacker.com tutorial. here's the updated version. Have a read:
