I have a dell laptop with a GeForce 8600M GT, a gig of ram, a dual core 2.0 ghz processor, and a 120 gb hd. Can I partition the harddrive so I can run both OS X and Vista(or XP) if this is possible please give me instructions on how to do it.

Thanks

Yes, you could. I believe you are running XP at the moment, so you need a prgram called bootcamp.

Here is a guide: http://www.geocities.com/nja469/

It is assuming you're running vista, but XP shouldnt be that much different.

no, if you read the page i lined to it tells you that running os x without an emulator is impossible (for now).
