Well, i think you should try out, i did the same had 3 versions and only one is working! You should just google around and find some specific things that are working with a OSX86. You should pay some attention to your Videocard and motherboard, and check for fixes around the internet... So its useful to have 2 computers so if something aint working and you cant boot your own pc that you can search fixes over the internet;) well good luck i hope i helped you out a little bit, but just give it a try!
