1. As far as I know, you cannot run OSX on any VM. You can however take a look at the OS X86 project website to see how you can install OSX on a regular PC. You could alternatively purchase EFIX, a small USB device that allows you to install OSX on ANY machine.

2. Not that I know of.

3. You have to install it just as you would install it on your hard drive.

1. You can run Mac OS X in VMware, no problem with that.

2. There is a project on Mac OS X Live DVD, but I am not sure if such stuff is allowed to discuss here.

3. Bootable Mandriva in VM would run fine without a hitch.

Since you have an AMD processor, you might face some problem running a hackintosh machine. But AMD support is constantly improving and quite stable now, you can try specific versions meant for AMD processors only. BTW don't try EFI-X, it is hardly available in India and quite expensive too. There is other ways to install Mac OS X into a PC just using some softwares and tweaking the PC a little.

MODs, I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong here, please delete the post if I did.
