iPhone Devepolment Perlimenaries

I was in dark, when I decided that I will start IPhone application development. I was Novice. So, It was pretty difficult to set up an environment for development. I faced the following question at that time and I found those pieces by UTFS(Using the fucking search engin). I think you eill find these question and answers pretty useful

My first question was "Do I need a MAC book to start development?"

Answer: No, You can install a MAC OS in intel PC, if the processor have sse2 and sse3 support.

"How do I confirm, if there is any SSE2/SSE3 in my processor?"

Ans: You can check list of processors that support SSE2/SSE3 in following links. Also, there is some freeware software that will show your processor information. You can also determine it from there.
