I've googled and called like 15 computer services stores but didn't find help. I need to develop an iPhone app but I don't have a Mac. I've learned that the only way it's possible to install a virtual Mac on Windows is you need Intel, not AMD like I have. Maybe somebody encountered this issue and can help.

Wow, that's asking for trouble. Apple is not that big on that and your going to be swimming upstream all the way.

Im going to go out on a limb here and say that if you really need to develop an iPhone App you'll have a lot fewer headaches if you simply get a mac mini. They don't cost that much.

It is not so easy to get OSX running in a VM on something other than OSX. The only legally sanctioned things is that you can run OTHER versions of OSX in a VM ON OSX (using Fusion). You should follow all the threads on that comment to your original post.. re being a possible duplicate.

If you want to just develop,or study iOS, you can use VMWare, but if you want to submit your app in App Store, I don't know if its possible. Maybe you just really need to buy a 2nd hand Mac Mini. But in my laptop I use VMWare just to try it, but I never did try developing my app in it. Because its kinda slow, I think you need a lot of Ram to run it flawlessly in VMWare. Or try dual boot like Hackintosh but Its not advisable. I dunno, its your call, but I suggest buying a 2nd hand Mac Mini if you want to pursue your career on it. :)
