Is this possible?

I am wondering if it is possible to install Windows XP, Linspire Linux, and Mac OS X on one 250 GB Hard Drive..

Now what I really mean is that can I install OS X on a partition....I am not sure if this is possible...I know I can install Windows and Linspire easy, but I want to try to run the 3 most popular OSes on one computer...Oh and that computer will be a.....

Dell Dimension 2400
250 GB Hard Drive
250 MB RAM

You cannot run Mac OS X on a Dell! Dells use Intel processors, Mac OS X only runs on PowerPC. There is some sort of emulation project around called "Pear" or some such, but it is of curiosity value at best - you wouldn't want to run a real system this way.

Ok...That is what I thought, because I read before that Mac OS X only works on Mac Hardware....Well thanks, That just cleared up some stuff for me...
