hmm I got Leo4allv3 on my Dell Inspiron 531.. ok so you need to take out 2 sticks of ram otherwise it will freeze. or boot with the flag maxmem=2046 Their is a bug with the nforce sata driver that wont let you use more then 3GB of ram.

You can put it back in the ram but boot with maxmem=3072 or if it still freezes do maxmem=2048. You edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>maxmem=3072</string>
