Mac OS X is meant to run on Apple computers. Some people managed to install on some other machines but not without lots of changes in configuration - and only in some machines with special processors.

I'd say don't bother on yours.

Virtually? Yes (to an extent), through PearPC.

Natively? Yes (to an extent), using hacks.

I wouldn't recommend any of them. PearPC is extremely slow and hasn't been updated in 2 years, and the hacks are against Apple Terms.

If you are installing Mac OS X, you need to have a legal license and CD. That would require a Mac. Otherwise it would technically be illegal.

It is probably not going to happen, as the others have stated.
Also, it would help if you are going to try and install it without running a virtual machine, is to use an intel processor and not AMD.

Hmm, AMD is fine. As long as it supports SSE3. There were some problems with dual core AMDs though, causing stuttering. You woud be best looking at hackint0sh or insanelymac.
