There are several ways.
But what i usually do:
Lion:
1. The easiest (but not recommended by Gurus): Use Unibeast by tonymac to make an USB bootable Lion installer
2. Boot up the USB, if no KP, you'll able to see the installer windows.
3. Go to disk utilities, create 2 partition; GUID; 1 for mac, 1 for windows
4. once done, don't proceed the installation. restart, and put windows 7 dvd. before formatting the partition, please delete the partition, then recreate it back, it will produce an extra partition called System Reserved. Install windows into the news partition (not the System Reserved clearly).
5. Once finished, restart and boot the Lion USB, and proceed install the Lion OS into the other partition stated as in step 3.
6. Once finished installing Lion, install Chameleon bootloader. So, after this, every time u fire up your computer, you can reach your mac partition by the partition created in step 3. And also you can start the windows partition by boot up the System Reserved partition (not the windows partition)

There are several reason behind all of the step. And yeah, its work really well for me.

@Digswell

Help me on something. I got a Dell Latitude E5420 from PTJ. Successfully install the Lion, every things works perfectly. The only problem is, i can't get Dual Display on it. The VGA port seems like not functioning. QE/CI is functioning, but still no output on VGA display.

as i'm using laptop, the only port available is HDMI and laptop display.as i got no HDMI monitor, so i cant try on VGA only. most solution found is they change the AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext hex files, which they exchange the internal LDC display port to VGA. But i need both. And it quite complicated for understanding what they discuss about
For AppleIntelHD3000Graphics.kext, my vendor ID is already stated in the kext, so not change it. EFI Strings also no luck. Or maybe i do it wrong

The only things left is edit the DSDT. Man.. If DSDT, i passed. Have no idea how to understand the part in it.

Added on December 29, 2011, 8:19 ambtw, what do you mean by ? is it the vga port ID need to be added in the kext too? what i do before is check wether my display vendor ID, which is 0126 is already in the kext

Added on December 29, 2011, 4:42 pmOk. Problem solve. Seems like i mod the hex file in AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext wrongly last time. Today change the port for HDMI to VGA port in the hex, and its work. The only downside now is my HDMI port are not functioning. Hmm i'm not use it anyway

Yup tonymac provide easiest way. For hardware compatibility, this site can give u an idea http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...0.7.0/Portables

I spend around 7k for desktop, and the spec is way far better than mac pro. (with extra monitor, good cooling system, but less cosmetic form). [ of course not the build stated in my sig ]

But for laptop, agree with chokia. better buy mba rather than pening kepala wpikir how to solve the KP etc.
