Query by alexei: Will setting up multiple running systems decrease laptop functionality?
I imply if i install mac on my windows seven 64bit, (hackintosh), will i get a lot less frames per 2nd and efficiency on my laptop, or will it operate the same as before with yet another running program?

Depends if you have them both operating at the very same time.

    If you are virtualizing then yes (virtual box, vmware, etc.). If you are dual booting then no.

    Hello, if you mean dual-booting them, then it won’t have a huge impact on your performance, only just a little more used space on your hard drive, which you might want to defragment every so often. I don’t really know how else you would be able to run more than one operating system at once, other than having a virtual emulator which might (will) make it go slower.

    If you merely dual-boot the operating systems, there will be no decrease in performance, except you will be using more disk space. But if you’re running Windows 7 natively, with a Hackintosh virtual machine (i.e. in VMware Workstation or Sun Virtualbox), it would definitely impact performance.

    No. Installing multiple Os’s won’t affect your system performance. The pc will continue to run as before.

    no it wont unless you use a virtual machine but if you are dual booting you must be very careful when uninstalling one of the two the dual booting is available thanks to a file in your HDD and usually neither mac or linux are very friendly with windows so when you uninstall it it will probably lose the file making windows unaccesible
