I'm going 2 sound like a real @$$ here. Do you guyz know that it is illegal to install OSX on non-Mac; even it is a legally bought copy of OS, and hacked that copy yourself? It's real pain the the butt, but it is wriiten on the EULA. Like the Pystar dude trying to do now.
I tot lowyat.net is against illegal activities like piracy .... etc. Hmmmmm
Added on May 4, 2008, 4:23 pmThough I do wanna stress that I personally thinks it's unethical to deny the rights of OSX legit buyers to install on non-Mac.
Good luck!

I'm thinking of installing the Hackintosh on my 3-year old laptop that comes with such specs:
Intel Pentium M 1.73Ghz ATi Mobility Radeon X700 64Mb 768Mb DDR2 RAM
Can it or not support the Leopard?
