In Mac OS X, is there a Terminal command to find out details like the processor model (e.g. Xeon 5100, 5400, etc.)?

System Profiler is found in your Utilities folder or under the Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info...

There are several versions of Mac OSX available for PC. As stated earlier, they are all quite illegal. It's possible to do, but the biggest issue is video card drivers. Mac dosen't really make drivers for windows video cards, and your video card manufacturer dosen't really want to spend time creating a driver for a system that there product won't work in. In short, the operating systems run with different hardware, therefore making it difficult....but possible.
