Most of the up-to-date prepatched distros are working allmost the same way and what they all have in common is that it doesn't work just to install one of them, as this is still not about having a cheap Macintosh alternative - thankfully it's not.
You can be pretty sure that you'll won't get a fully working setup until you are not willing to gain the necessary knowledge - knowledge which is allmost entirely avaible on the internet - just waiting for beeing looked up.

Propably you've got more then 2GB of RAM?

AMD Phenom X3 8450 - ASRock AM2NF6G-VSTA (BIOS L2.39) - 4GB DDR2-800 - Radeon HD 4650 512MB - Snow Leopard Retail (retired) / OpenBSD

You can boot iAtkos v7 using maxmem=2048 bootflag and install fixed nForce ATA driver later - a far wide known issue...

I do not know your chipset man (no your onboard GeForce is not the chipset^^) if it's MCP** and you are using an SATA DVD drive, you might be able to enable AHCI mode for SATA. (Maybe hp docs provide more info and how-to?)

Please go to HP.com and download your user manual and read up on changing bios settings. We can help you out but you will need to do some research on your own. For instance when a new term pops up such as AHCI, google it try "ahci" or "wiki ahci" to get an idea what the term means and then try "ahci osx86" to find some references dealing with the term and OSX86.
