Gateway FX7024 - can it be done?

Hey. I just came into possession of a Gateway minitower model FX7024. It's got a Systemboard motherboard, I think. I'm not sure what model, though it has integrated graphics. I know it's got a G33 chipset and the FSB is clocked at 1066 MHz and RAM is clocked at 667 MHz. Don't know much else about that. It's got a Core 2 Quad Q6600 in it. What are the chances there are drivers for this baby, I'm a Mac guy and I'd really love to run Leopard and potentially Snow Leopard on this. Personally I use a MacBook Pro but it'd be awesome to have a quad-core box around for my video encoding work and the like.

I've already got a Family Pack of Leopard with two licenses left. Does that mean I can go about attempting to install 10.5 on this machine legally?

Oh and if anyone else has a similar machine running OS X, I'd love to hear about how that's going for you.

EDIT:
I've figured out that this thing should have an Intel GMA 3100, but I haven't been able to verify that. Because of its similarity to the MacBook's X3100, does that mean there are proper video drivers for this thing?
