Well if you buy a copy of the Mac OS then you could build a PC with an Intel or AMD based chip (has to be one that supports SSE2 or SSE3 insruction set) and use a fan edited (hacked) version of the Mac operating system. There is no law that says that to run a version of the Mac OS you have to run it exactly as they give it to you and only on hardware you buy from them, so this falls within the same legal grey (gray?) area as the fan edits that this site supports! This would save a truckload of money, but it's up to you! (Oh and if you are going to go this route be sure and get an ethernet card that the Mac OS supports already or that you can find custom drivers for online, it's a biotch to realize that all your hardware is compatible and everything works except yer friggin internet!)

And very sorry to thread jack but I have a question along the same lines: From what I know Mac writes to HFS and FAT32. Windows writes to NTFS and FAT32. But FAT32 doesn't allow files bigger than 4 gigs, which plenty of the videos I want to edit are. The only way I have found to edit one video using both Mac and Windows is to A) use FAT32 (which I can't do as stated above) or B) have two machines networked together and have the video in a shared folder on the Windows system then the Mac system will still somehow write to it.

Does anyone know how to edit the same file from a dual boot because I don't want to build another machine! By the way if anyone doesn't want to divert this thread any further they may email me at DarthBalls1138@gmail.com thanx!
