I've surfed around eBay, and gotten a few results of PCs withing $120. This is what I'm looking at now. Would a PC with those type of specs run OS X at all?
Another question I have is would OS X on a PC run as fast as it would on a similarly-spec'd mac?
If this is posted in the wrong section, I apologize. Thank you

broken link.
And it all depends on things like sse3, l1/l2 cache... but for the most part, I'd say yes. Just don't look at 2ghz and compare a core 2 duo extreme with a cerleron. You will cry.
