No need for a PM; I honestly couldn't explain this any better than what’s already laid out in those links above. Look, I'm primarily a Mac user, and frankly, I haven't really ventured into the whole "ordeal" of trying to force macOS onto a PC setup before. That said, any version of macOS prior to 10.7 Lion can be burned onto an 8.5 GB double-layer DVD R, which you can pick up at any local Best Buy or Walmart. Your current rig is actually more powerful than the one I'm typing this on right now.

I wouldn't say that. My iMac runs on an Intel Core 2 duo with 4 GB of RAM and it flies. Check those links Keith Bennett38 sent you. You should find a "how-to" for installing your chosen Mac OS X version (like Snow Leopard), or maybe there's a specific guide for whatever brand of PC you're running.
Try running that same command from step 7 a few more times—just keep at it until the repair actually kicks in. If that still fails, you’ve got System Restore or Startup Repair available in step 6. Just a heads-up though, running a fresh installation wipes everything, so when was the last time you actually backed up your data?
While you're logged into Gmail, just go into your mail settings (top right corner). Under the "General" tab, you'll see an option for desktop Notifications. You can toggle on just the email ones or include chat too; just keep in mind those notifications only work if you're using Google Chrome 🙂
I’ve got Intel on my Riff card, and I have zero issues buying from any version of Amazon. Yet, somehow, that exact same card gets rejected every single time I try to use it at the Apple iTunes Store. 😕
Recovery is definitely sitting somewhere on the drive, but it all depends on what kind of machine you're running—desktop or laptop. Every manufacturer uses their own specific key combinations to trigger the recovery partition, so you'll have to check your specific model's manual.
