OSx86
It's a lot easier done with Intel processsors. In fact, I wouldn't even bother with it if you've got an AMD processor.
EDIT: I see you're asking how it will function. From my experience it worked fine on my Laptop. I hardly ever experienced any bugs (but then again, I didn't do much). As for my Desktop, I have an FX-8320. The installation was a headache, once I finally got to the desktop, the OS didn't recognize my videocard and couldn't install the drivers for it because it didn't recognize my LAN card. Like I said, it's not worth the trouble if you're using an AMD processor.
