please reply me as soon as possible i am waiting for your reply

Answer
rahul,

There is no way you can run OSX on a non-apple computer.

Or at least no way that is legal for me to answer.  I don't think the ACER meets the specifications; I'd google hackintosh.

Again, it's against the law for me to answer this.

Best,

Jeff

I can comfortably answer most basic/advanced questions regarding Macintosh hardware and software - nowadays only OSX. In fact, if it's prior to 10.3, there's a good chance I'll reject your question. Forget OS9 stuff - Igave up OS 9 ten years ago). Please do not ask me about OS9. My particular specialties are in Video editing/DVD authoring. I am a certified trainer in the "pro apps" (Final Cut, DVDSP, Soundtrack, Motion). I have been using Macs since 1985.

I'm an Apple Cert. Trainer for FCP, DVD SP, since the inception of this program. I've was
