not quite sure what a P5 is, but pearpc is an emulator, but you will have to buy OS X

I think P5 is a reference to the Pentium D line or the 64bit P4 CPUs. I read a rumor going around (can't remember which one it was about) before the official naming that they might be called Pentium 5.

Apparently OS_X for x86 is floating around and will install on generic x86 hardware with a little tweaking.

No, I don't have the need to, I already run OS-X on faster hardware than any of my Intel boxes. Not to mention it would be illegal!.
