as far as i know it has to be a hacked copy to run on a pc.
and heres a question while i think of it, hardware wise what makes macs so different from pcs?

Yep, calumc hit the nail on the head. There are various "versions" floating around on the internet (that I won't tell you how to get) that run on x86 platforms. It was originally a developer release, then it leaked, and well...
And trust me, they aren't worth your time.

Plus running a Mac operating system on something that isn't an Apple Mac is illegal...
Re: OSX Panther on AMD or Intel chip- Does it work??
Because the only way to do it is with the leaked x86 version... Which is obviously not what you have...

You can run it within a virtual machine spec'ed to an intel mac...

Re: OSX Panther on AMD or Intel chip- Does it work??
@whoever it was that asked what the difference hardware wise between a mac and pc was.
The difference is a little chip placed on apple motherboards that (in simple terms) says "hey I'm a mac, feel free to boot OS X."
I believe the chip is called a TPM or trusted platform module. It's been a while since i read about it but i think it allows the OS to verify the hardware that it is running on. Thats how they keep you from booting OS X on a generic PC. That and i think mac's have a different boot process. They don't use typical BIOS.
Other than that ever since the switch to Intel Mac's are pretty much just glorified, locked down, unupgradable PC's with a pretty operating system. Thats why i get so frustrated when people are conned in to thinking that Apple has better hardware. It's nice hardware, but nothing you can't find elsewhere.

Re: OSX Panther on AMD or Intel chip- Does it work??
This is all so true on so many accounts people. I own 2 macs myself in the mass of computers in my home. I use the g3 desktop for a glorified mp3 player and the g3 laptop for basic things. As for the TPM module thing yeah it sucks. Dell released them a few years back as an option for the optiplex and precision workstation lines. Makes a hell of a time working with them. but int he end if you wanna run mac os get a mac. IF you want to do everything else other than basic stuffs get a pc. I love my mac's but not as much as I love my pc.
Re: OSX Panther on AMD or Intel chip- Does it work??
