10.5 is Leopard.. 10.6 is Snow Leopard right?
Are you sure Hazards will work with my CPU and GPU though?

Because I've heard Zepyroths and LawlessPPC are the only Phenom Compatible Distros?

Thanks heaps

Hello,

I think it will work! For the CPU and the graphics card i can say this for sure. It´s just the mainboard i don´t know but that should be no problem.
I would not install 10.5! If you wan´t to use a distro i would use Hazards 10.6!

Good luck!

If this is a version of leopard you will not get your graphics card to work.

My info that the Radeon 5770 works with full resolution and qe/ci since 10.6.4 is true for sure.
