does that mean if i mean to make a desktop to use hacintosh .
it is better for me to go for Ati graphic card .
becasue next year i will go for a desktop for my design task in architecture studies , alot of still still need windows to operate . so i would like to boot both, now i am macbook user , i found that OS X is extremely suitable for everyday usage . so i need to have OS X along with me.

meanwhile, kext is the driver for the graphic card ? i am lost now .

u all mentioned that the hackintosh OS X only can run in the mac. formatt HDD .
let say i do 2 partitions , that means first i put windows , 2nd i put os x .
when i boot windows , it cannot read the os x partition .
while if i boot os x , it can read the windows partition FAT32.

1. Kext is Kernel Extension, if not mistaken, it is just like kernel loadable modules in linux. Sort of like Driver. Besides, ATI has good support in hackintosh. i remembered that HD2600 is supported in it, but linux hasn't got that kind of driver yet.

2. Windows can not read Mac partition(HFS+) without some softwares, but Mac can read FAT32 or NTFS partition, just that if u got a different supported HDD controller, Mac just wont recognize it without the driver. Finding a mac driver is as hard as making your own driver.
