Well my PC is an AMD64 3200+ with 1GB of ram.

Did OSX work on my PC?

Firstly i had to remove my second hard drive and put both DVD drive and Hard drive on one IDE cable, after that a slow install...a long wait...and it worked!

Once installed and finally sorted out the speed was pretty good actually. It runs as well as XP here.

Problems? I will have to get the Sound Driver from the OSX x86 Project site and see if my Network Card is supported as now its not been found.

Find out how to Dual boot it with XP properly.

For dual boot, I'd advise to use GrUB, it's capable of booting any OS, and easy to use. Installation might be a bit strange if you're not used to it, but it should work!

That sounds awesome. What is the minimum specs for a machine it will run on? I hope someone knows, because Im not sure if I have a machine capiable or not other than my laptop, and I can not mess with it right now.

You must have a Pentium 4 processer or higher that supports SSE2 and/or SSE3. That's the basic requirement.

Well, this isn't of course the requirements but i would say...

2Ghz CPU at Least
512mb at Least
128mb Graphics at least
10GB HDD at least
DVD drive at least....

Those won't give you much, the more memory the better...the more graphics the better.

Dang, I have a 1.8 with 512 ram and 64 meg graphics, if I was to get the one with the AMD patch, I may could squeak by with it LOL.
