I've loaded both OSes on my PC before..and for obvious reasons OSX was illegal and I wouldn't want to use it for daily computing. This was on a computer using an Intel motherboard, so I can't speak for AMD. I tired it before on my laptop (AMD), but no luck getting it to install.

Now my laptop is running Vista x64 and my new computer I'm getting will have Vista x64 loaded on it as well.

I've had no issues with Vista x86 (32-bit).....but I noticed better performance using the 64-bit. Just make sure you have supported drivers and apps that aren't dated.

I'm also anticipating Windows 7...which is one of the reasons I bought this new computer (also being a black friday special).

If you have a spare hard drive, try loading OSX and see if you like it. Just remember its illegal and venues for support are minimal.
