A Super Odd IM Conversation

I guess I'll give it away. 
My friend said that he could find a MacBook Pro that has a AMD processor.
After what I posted he changed what he said to finding a computer that can run Windows AND Os X and is not a mac machine.
Does such a machine exist?

1) you didn't know what AMD was.
2) you spelled Mac "MAC"
3) "code works differently" for different processors? I don't think so.
Yeah, didn't a guy named maxxuss or whatever put a couple versions of OS X onto a PC?
If you have two partitions, and a boot loader (XOM perhaps?) then I don't see why you couldn't put XP and OS X on a PC.

That's fairly funny, but it confused everyone and me b/c the way the conversation is layed out. Quite frankly, I still don't totally get it. It might have been more effective to just explain the scenario, or to get a more organized log.
Yeah. The thing is it doesn't run very well and it's ILLEGAL mainly, so it can't become widespread knowledge of how to do that. It will never be a very widespread thing until the day when Apple licenses their OS for PCs, which, of course, I would never let happen over my dead body.asherman13 said:
It really does. Different processors can't understand different coding for different processors. That's why we have to deal with Rosetta.bobber205 said:
Yes, I have one right next to me. It's a P4 2.9Ghz (OCd from 2.4bobber205 said:
) with 512MB RAM, a Radeon 9200 128MB and a (coincidently Apple branded - came from the Cube) 40GB HDD. It does movie converting mostly

Not when you're talking about the difference between Intel and AMD, which you were. Both execute x86 code.
If you're changing the discussion to PPC and Intel, then yes, the code is different.
