Hi everyone,

I am begginer programmer and I always wanted to start programming iOS apps. I have 3 computers with windows 7 running on it, but I can't start programming for iOs because I don't have Mac Os. I tried to install mac os on each computer, but it didn't work. I don't want to buy expensive mac computer just for xcode. So my question is: Can I somehow run Mac Os on computers with this hardware? :

1. My main one PC:

Video card: GeForce GTS 450 1GB DDR5
Power supply: 750W
Ram: 4x4= 16 GB
Motherboard: Intel P67
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600 3,4GHz

2. Second is my old PC

Video card: GeForce GT 440 / PCI-E 2.0 / 1GB GDDR3 / 128-bit
Power supply: ATX 500W
Ram: 2 GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
Proccesor: INTEL E6420 CORE2D 2.12Ghz

3. The third is my laptop lenovo v570c

Video card: GeForce 410M
Ram: 4 GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
Proccesor: Intel Core i3 2.20Ghz

If you will need more details about them, just ask.

Thank you all for help

Sorry for my bad english

A Mac running OS X is part of the participation cost if you want to write iOS apps.
Besides, getting a Mac is not a bad thing.

Yes, if you intend to make any cash from these iOS apps a new Mac is not a bad investment at all. You don't need massive hardware specs either. Consider picking up an older iMac or a used laptop for a few hundred. A 2008 iMac should run Mountain Lion which will let you make use of all the newest features of Xcode.

That said, Gigabyte boards are usually a good starting point to build a hackintosh. You should have a look at www.hackintosh.org.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
