My AMD rig simply will not work with OS X. Help please?!

I have been at this for the longest time. I've spent days straight trying to get this to work. I've spent hours and hours and I've had no luck whatsoever. Whenever I fix a problem another one arises.

To start - I DO NOT have access to a Mac. Any methods that require a Mac or any machine running OS X are out of the question.

I've tried every combination of BIOS settings you could possibly fathom, and no, my BIOS does not have any options relative to SATA AHCI or IDE modes. I've tried iATKOS v7, iATKOS L2, SnowLeo 10.6.2, and a retail Snow Leopard 10.6.0 DVD. I've tried iBoot, OSx86 ModCD, and a legacy boot cd. None of these, in any combination with each other, have gotten to the installation screen. They've either stopped at the infamous "Still waiting for root device", spammed SuperNForceATA errors, or simply rebooted my machine. iATKOS L2 just reboots or gives me a black screen. With all of these distros I've tried multitudes of boot commands, including busratio=17, -v, -x, -f, rd=disk#s#, and more I can't remember, all in just about every combination you can imagine, on both SATA and IDE disks... and none of them have gotten to the install screen.

I've posted this question on countless forums and I've never found a solution. Here are my specs. If anyone can help me get OS X running on this computer, I will be forever in your debt. Forever. I will dedicate my life to worshiping your hackintosh skills and knowledge. I will build a shrine in my house dedicated to your likeness, and it will be the greatest shrine of any shrine ever created for the one(s) who helped me get OS X running on my system - a procedure with difficulty equivalent to neurosurgery.

Here's my specs.

ASUS M4N68T-M V2 (Nvidia GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a Chipset)
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 RAM
MSI Nvidia GTX460

Any help would be very, very greatly appreciated.

Edit:

In what scientists are calling "f---ing amazing", I got iATKOS L2 to install on my ASUS UL50VT laptop. So any methods that I can use to help get OS X on my desktop using my laptop now running Lion are available to me.
