I forget what gpu I was running at the time, but it may have been the one I still run which is an MSI N560GTX-Ti... or it may have been an older 9800. Can't recall anymore.
I spent a LOT of time in the "hackintosh" game. And sometimes I still consider going back, but to be completely honest, I can't stand Finder... even with the "Total Finder" (or w/e it was called) addon...
I've done the research... I spent weeks comparing the true differences. Have you? I doubt it.. all you likely did was read the brochure.
Nothing has really changed in the 3 years since I took the time to sit down and research the shit out of both sides of the fence... well, aside from performance specs.

Another failed assumption. One of my laptops is a Hackintosh, only because I bought it cheap from a friend, and desired to have OS X for productivity reasons. It's not as stable for me as native OS X, but that's part of why buying a "real" Mac was worth it to me. The day I'm too broke to afford $3k-$5k for a real computer every couple of years is a sad time.
Sadly, while your hardware might be the "same" in your mind, it A) won't hook up to my Cinema Display monitors, and B) would be laughed out of the store if you brought it in for support. I'm not into wasting my own time if something goes wrong -- it's too valuable to me.
It's funny that you're saying you've "done the research" when you don't even know basic things about the platform.
Not trying to pick a fight with you, it just irks me when people spout of ignorant shit while pretending to me some sort of authority on the subject.
It's like when Honda drivers used to come up to my Viper at a light and yell "I've got the same horsepower!" ... yeah, but they were still in a Honda.
