can get mac emulators but they are v buggy and are old mac OS not X for example think its mac 6 or 5 free based but very limited my suggestion is to "purches" a MAC X Intel and dual boot it...
(takes no responsibility to piracy or other law braking activities)
or do what a friend of mine has done
5 boot system
XP(NTFS)
98(FAT32)
3.x(FAT)
MAC Intel
Linx
yes seems OTT but he does use them all mostly boots XP and uses Virtual PC to run 98 3.x and linx uses 3 and 98 for dos and mac for vid and music and linx for programming

@slugworth,i surely will buy a new sys once vista rolls out, but that dual boot you suggested would it be worthwhile both performance and bugs-wise only if i buy a mac and upload windows on it,or would it be the same if i do it with the latest windows based hardware.

dunno his works fine i think... meh tis a bit crazy but he uses Intel P4 (478 socket) with IDE so i guess it works fine prob has a driver for win 3 for his syetem
