The first answer to this question is, why would you want to do that? Even if it does work, and we're not saying it will, performance will be terrible. Your experience with the BeOS will be poor on such a system. The BeOS is all about speed, baby; don't miss out on the Real Thing.

The second answer is, this may work, but we're not promising it. Nor, for the reason mentioned above, is this a design goal for the BeOS for Intel. So don't count on it...
