wow, this thread is a 23skiddo tunnel. my advise... find out if your AMD chip can do SSE2 and/or SSE3 by running a little .exe called CPU-Z http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php. From there see if it would be worth it to run, I hear people with SSE2 can but it is far from optimized and why would you want to run that slow... however if your box rocks SSE3 then go for it, you can even VMware OSX these days...
