(Sorry for the multiple posts above. The site wasn't showing the post after I verified it. Don't know why.)

One thing to also consider about OS X running on computers other than a Mac, and it's also a reason there are so few choices with graphics cards, is the limited graphics card support.

The few graphics cards that support the Mac support Core Image. Core Image is a graphics subsystem for OS X that does all the 2D graphics work and scaling. The graphics cards that support the Mac support hardware acceleration of Core Image.

OS X running on WinTel boxes without those graphics cards probably won't have the snap and flash that OS X has on Mac's. I could be wrong on this. I haven't seen OS X running on a WinTel box so I can't speak for the speed of the OS on those boxes.
