Note Snow Leopard 10.6 AMD OSx86

Snow Leopard on AMD Sempron 3000+

Anyone know if it is possible? I have an intel hackintosh. But what all do I have to do with AMD? I've seen kernels that look like they work OOB, but then I've also seen stuff with all this patching. What do I need to know about AMD?

Yes sir, my 1st hack was an AMD Sempron on a PC-Chips AG31 MB using a distro for Tiger.
Now a days you can get patched legacy kernels for AMD's for just about any snow leopard update, Just search for nawcom legacy kernel and you'll see what I mean. . .
