Snow Leopard AMD?

Hi,

I am new to these forums. I came here from InsanelyMac because they do not have a Snow Leopard forum.

Anyway, I would like to know how to go about installing Snow on my AMD laptop. I don't understand everything with OSx86 but I have learned a lot.

Thanks for any help,
Agg23

if you are novice maybe you would wait for full featured non legacy amd kernel,that be only after realese 10.6
legacy kernel has some limitation.

What are some of the limitations? Snow Leopard will be only for fun since my graphics card will never be supported.

Thanks for understanding It seems like most OSx86 users expect you to know everything.

Back to the subject,
How should I install Snow? With Pacifist? Is there any build (of Snow) you would recommend?

Thanks again,
