It's not legal, and we don't condone it. @Gamester17 & @d4k: Please refrain from discussing the installation of OS X on non-Apple hardware. It’s not legal, and we don’t condone it.

AFAIK, there are lot of issues installing OSx86 on X3100 based systems since Apple hasn't released any non-laptop systems that use that chipset.

The X3100 doesn't come as a standalone card, since it's part of Intel's mobile GM965 motherboard chipset. Gamester17, I have an X3100 based system, however this is an OSX driver specific issue.

If it does then maybe money to buy one could be donated to D4rk since he is the OpenGL graphics specialist? If a stand-alone card is not available then what is the cheapest new desktop barebone or laptop featuring Intel GMA X3100? It does not have to be a Mac (as OSx86 could be temporarly installed by D4rk if needed, just for debugging this. I found the Acer Aspire AS4720-4199 at $499(US) on Newegg.com but maybe it could be found cheaper via pricerunner.com The cheapest barabone desktop I could find was Shuttle SG31G2B but then you need a CPU, RAM, a harddrive, and a DVD-ROM drive as well so it quickly becomes more expensive than what you would think, making the above laptop prices just as attractive.
