I would like to install an OS X on my Intel PC.
I have an old computer (2002) with:
2.4Ghz Intel CPU sse2 compatible.
ATI 9600xt bravo 128Mb and
1Gb of RAM.
I have 2 hard-drives and I would like to grace one of them with a leopard or a tiger. Because I don't know how my computer holds up, I would like to know what to choose. Will the Leopard run smoothly?
I haven't found a nice little tutorial for that kind of installation. Also, do I have to change a lot of things in order to get it working normaly or does that only go for the partioned disks.
Thank you,
Martin.

10.5.6 will have some lag, my SSE3 even lags a little(because of the low amount of RAM 512mb) if you only want OS X and you dont care how new it will be, i'd go for Uphucks 10.4.9 (my very first distro*wipes tear from eye :') it should run smoothly but make sure you use a voodoo kernel and update it to Andy's 9.6.0(i can vouch his kernel runs perfectly well) of you want new go for iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 Final. like i said, choose voodoo and update it once you have it running
