I've wondered about this, is there a ROM on the apple motherboards that the install dvd looks for? If all you have to do is patch a few software files on the DVD to get it to run on a similar chipset, is there any real hardware
difference from  mac to any other machine?

Less now than before as a result of the move to the Intel processor, which is actually what makes it all possible to do rather easily. Some operating issue remain, however. Waking from sleep can be problematic, and it may be necessary under emulation software to have the OS DVD in the drive in order to boot up. Updating system software can cause issues as well.
