Thank you guys for all comments.
I've just found about hackintosh somewhere so I posted to ask your ideas.
I agree with you all that Apple works hard to make practical products.
I'm using a Macbook Air as well.
What I asked doesn't mean I attempt to use Hackintosh.

Honestly, for me, it's not a matter of compatibility. Well, ok, yeah, it
is, but it's more the principle. I don't wanna cheat Apple out of their
legitimate hardware. They work very hard to give us rock solid systems.
If you'd asked me this 2 years ago... even a year ago... I probably would a
said, who cares, go get a hackintosh, go to a torrent site, download a crack
for OSX, sideload it on the hackintosh, and then go buy PT. But, I'm sorry.
Now that I do this stuff as a profession, not just a hobby, I've learned
that A, that's very dishonest, and B, as Nick, Chuck, and others have said,
it's not worth the time, you'd get no support from Apple nor from Avid, and,
you're not guaranteed it'll work, and even it it does, as software and
hardware changes, things likely could break. Maybe not easily, but, there
is! still always that risk. Then, if they do, you have no support, and
basically, are S O L, unless you can figure it out yourself.
Just my 2ยข worth.
Chris.

Hi Chuck, I totally agree with you which is why I left it up to the
person who was asking the question as to what they want to do. I myself
would not buy this type of setup but then that is just me. I don't want
to buy something then find it won't work with what I have. I am not
saying it would not work as it might work just fine and depending on
what they wish to do with the system this might be the best setup for
them. I believe however that if you are going to spend as much as pro
tools costs you might as well get hardware that is totally supported by
Avid. Nick Gawronski

Hi Nick,

You get the fastest PT compatible Mac box "and load it up with ram,

Hi, Well I am not saying it would or would not work but support from
Avid is a no no but really if you wish to try it for yourself that is
of course your choice. I am not saying it won't work as you might
get somewhere with it but really after all if you want to spend the
money on pro tools and take a chance it won't work that is your
choice. My views are the user should have the choice on what
hardware they choose but as far as it being legal I don't know about
that. I myself got a mac book pro for this very reason. I have
total compatibility and know that both Apple and Avid support the
system. Again I am not trying to tell you what to do as I am totally
open for a user choosing what they choose to do just saying what I
think. Nick Gawronski

oh sorry I thought you were asking about the Mac before. I read more
carefully this time.
I'm guessing Avid would not recommend ProTools be run on anything but
an actual Apple machine, since the hardware is guaranteed to work
properly.

Can you/ you guys who are using Pro tools in Hackintosh share your
PC specification?
What spec works best?
Any experience about pro tools in Hackintosh is very welcome.
Thanks in advance for your sharing.
Best,
