I have ordered a Compaq 702 Netbook off Amazon and when it arrives I want to put OS X on it so I am able to easily connect it to my MacBook. It will have the following specs but I'm afraid I don't know how to work out what type of motherboard it has. And I'll do the job where I download iDeneb and restore an external drive to it and install via USB since it doesn't have a CD drive!

Is it likely it'll work with it? What Osx86 version do you recommend I download, iDeneb, iAktos, Kakyway etc. I do want the latest version of 10.5.7 because it increases battery life compared to the older versions.
