On my Acer Aspire 5106 with an AMD64 X2 Turion ML-50 processor, is there some reason i shouldn't be able to boot Tiger? I got to the loading screen, but it just sits there, with the drive activity constantly on. The AMD64 chips are supposedly able to run MacOS, so why would it sit there? After about 10 minutes a little "no parking" icon appears on the top of the apple logo.

I don't want to put money on it, but my guess is that it's impossible to install it on a non-mac computer. |

No, it's possible. I've done it on a desktop PC. ---but it's running an Intel HT processor. I think AMD was the trouble.
Here's the link to the steps i followed to load OSX. http://village.cisv.cz/mac/x86/osxhowto/index_UPDATED.htm http://www.osx86.theplaceforitall.com/howto/ |

It's possible, they just released OS X 10.4.8 just for the AMD. I'm not telling you where I found it but Google.com is a great place to start.

Well, all i found was articles on running it on AMD through a virtual machine. I'm not interested in that. I want to run it natively.

Well I gave up on booting it from the laptop, and just installed it on my desktop.

We were running it on a 2.4Ghz P4HT with 2GB of Ram when we had the developer's box to test our custom built application a couple years ago. So it's not impossible to do.

Were you using SSE2 or the patched SSE3 kernel? As itunes, imovie, etc, anything to do with video, still doesn't work on mine. and i've heard that that's the cause.

iTunes worked with my machine. I think you just need more RAM.
Here's a screeny of my OS X installation:  xboxrulz |
