The Darwin 7.0.1 Installation CD is based on the Darwin source
release which corresponds to Mac OS X 10.3 (Darwin is the core
of Mac OS X).

This Installation CD is capable of booting and installing on
PowerPC-based Macintosh computers supported by Mac OS X 10.3,
as well as certain x86-based personal computers.

Please visit <http://developer.apple.com/darwin/> for more
information about Darwin, and <http://www.apple.com/macosx/>
for more information about Mac OS X.

Supported Hardware
==================

Darwin 7.0.1 should install and boot on all PowerPC-based Macintosh
computers supported by Mac OS X 10.3.

Additionally, Darwin 7.0.1 supports many x86-based personal computers:

IDE:
Only the PIIX4 IDE controllers have been found to work.
Attached devices must be UDMA/33 compatible or better.
Ethernet:
Intel 8255x 10/100 ethernet controllers are supported.
&nbsp; &nbsp;3Com 905cXXX based ethernet controllers are supported.
Video:
You must have a VESA 2.0 compliant video card. &nbsp;Almost all
modern graphics cards are VESA 2.0 compliant. &nbsp;However,
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;emulators such as vmware do not have VESA 2.0 compliant
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;emulated video cards.
Successfully tested hardware:
All 440BX motherboards tested have worked with their
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;internal IDE controllers. &nbsp;
IBM ThinkPad A21m (with onboard Intel ethernet)

Correction, you cannot run OS X on any x86 (or anything other than PowerPC for that mater) machine. Darwin is not OS X.

Well there is a proven way to do it now, PearPC (http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/index.html)

Wow, PearPC looks really cool. I'd really love to get OS X running on my X86.
