Where to install Kext ;...

I followed many topics to install Snow Leopard but I saw two versions. Some say we have to install the Kexts in Extra/extensions and others people say in /System/Library/Extensions. Does that change something?

Install it to /System/Library/Extensions
/Extra/Extensions is only for the bootloader
