I can get Mac OS X to run on my intel/amd systems, however how can you configure video to support hardware acceleration...etc. The wireless card on my laptop doesn't seem to be recognized either, or at least won't connect.

Basically, how can you configure the hardware or install drivers?

There are no other drivers. If it doesn't work then it probably won't. Best bet is to get a real Mac. :-)

Regardless, what you're doing is illegal, so this isn't the right place to discuss it...

Let's be a bit realistic here. I'm coming to you here as a PC user, trying to validate the Mac OS...and maybe one day buying Mac hardware (which may be in the very near future...but I'm beginning to question if I should bother) and you're hitting me over the head with semantics - is this the attitude and support I can expect if I become a Mac user? Is Apple going to throw everyone in this Forum in jail just because they helped me run a legitimately purchased Apple software on a PC so I can make a proper evaluation before I make a major purchase?

Thank you to those that did try to help me.

Thanks...I was beginning to think that. But given it is based upon a BSD kernel, thought maybe there were ways to configure it using conf or kernel patches...etc.
