I am new to this whole mac scene and I was looking for some guidance. I heard somewhere one the net that people are putting mac os leopard on their AMD pc's. I started looking into it more and got really interested, but I don't know where to start. If anyone could tell me what to download where, how to make it into an iso, and how to install it properly on my new 500gb hdd. Here are my specs:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 5600+
2 gigs ddr2 800 ram
Nvidia geforce 8600 gt 256mb
320gb hitachi hdd running windows xp media center
500gb western digital with nothing on it

Hi rockchalk22, welcome to the forum!
Instead of attempting to make your own iso, your best bet is to look for an existing release that works on AMD. Currently the best options are either Leo4Allv4.1 or LawlessPPC - you can find them in the usual places. Knowing your motherboard chipsets will help you most when customising the install options for your hardware.
Hope this points you in the right direction
