Just Wanted To Share...

There isn't a specific forum to place this in, so I thought I would just stick this here. No need to comment on what I did. I did not want to start a PC vs Mac fight over this. Just wanted to brag about what I did, as I'm kinda proud of what I did last night. Yes, call me a geek.

I have a Dell PC (yes I have said a swear word). It's a Quad core (2.4Ghz), 4GB ram, 256MB NVidia display card (dual DVI), built in audio, 2TB RAID hard drives, Logitech wireless mouse & keyboard, 22" Acer LCD and it's running Vista Ultimate. Why am I telling you this, all will be revealed.

I had a spare external USB hard drive lying around and I decided to try something. I booted up the PC with Leopard in the DVD ROM drive. Of course, the Leopard installation appeared and started the installation process. I went through the process, but installed Leopard onto the external hard drive, not the internal hard drives (heaven forbid). It installed successfully and rebooted the PC. I took the Leopard install CD out and of course the PC booted into Windows Vista. I then rebooted the PC, but hit F12 to go into the boot menu and this time selected the USB hard drive, and guess what? Yup, my PC booted into Leopard. I rebooted a few times into both operating systems, just to make sure nothing had impacted either, and it had not.

The only thing that Leopard does not recognize, is my wireless NIC and sound card. But everything else works fine. I can surf the net (wired NIC) and do everything that normal Leopard on a Mac can do. Sweet.

I now have a dual boot PC. Best of both worlds.
