I'm not too sure about this, there are reports that Apple will be using the CPUID and DRM functions in the Intel chips to prevent people from trying this.

I'm pretty sure Apple will do what they can to prevent people from buying a $399 Dell to run OS X instead of a shiny $2000 mac which will be identical on the inside...
