I have a retail copy of SL and can download the boot CD, but are you sure there's nothing we can do for my GPU? I read there were some kext developed recently.
[EDIT]
I just need to be ok as for the resolution. I don't need to use hardware acceleration
I would use the hackintosh machine only for CODA, the HTML editor. Also lion would be fine for me if you say it's a better option (as my brother has a mac I also have a retail copy of Lion). I don't want to switch card every time

will all work exept 6950 wich only works under Lion and that does not work proper on a 6 core phenom either ..so new graphics card or even a older one and you should be able to get a fully running SL in noo time using nawcom bootcd and a retail copy of SL
just spend a couple bugs on ebay m8 saves u lot of trouble and then have the real deal honest…
for instance -> this one (eb ay.co.uk/itm/Sapphire-HD-5770-Vapor-X-1GB-/320944911293?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item4ab9ceb3bd)
