What version is right for me? (Complete System Specs Included)

@xXrkidXxretail, just look around for a guide

I just read that you could install retail OSX on Intel but not AMD. It says "near retail for AMD" HOWTO install Retail Leopard on Intel, near retail on AMD. Inclusive of Chameleon 2.0 →

Is that right or do you know something better?
