OSX on a PC...some questions

[feo]

So I wanna start dabbling in Apple app development but don't have a Mac and I don't wanna shell out for a new one right now so I'm looking to install OSX on my PC.

Basically I've seen some guides on building a hackintosh but they seem to be hardware specific.

Now my questions, firstly, which guide is considered the best to follow when installing OSX on a PC? The ones on tonymac's blog? The info seems very overwhelming.

Secondly, how much of an additional headache is it to dual boot OSX with Windows 7 on a PC?

I don't really wanna go the VMWare route to use OSX, I'd much rather have a nice dual boot setup.

Oooops, seems hackintosh threads aren't allowed here. Sorry about that.

Buy a Macbook Pro for $300, (make sure it's a C2D), and throw 4GB RAM and an SSD in it.

While you can't discuss hackintoshes here, recently the Notebook forum lifted their ban on that topic... so, I would recommend digging up some info over there: http://forum.notebookreview.com/apple-mac-os-x/.

Knowledgeable group of folks.
