Newbie install question

I was hoping someone woud answer a stupid newbie question for me. I purchased all the parts from the recommended hardware articles and am not sure what disk image I should to install with. Do I just use my OSX 10.5 disk?

GA-P35-DS3P

256 MB PCI Express Gigabyte GeForce 8600GT (I think)

Q6600

4GB Corsair Dominator (2*2GB)

WD SATA HD

Sony DVD-+RW SATA

Thanks for any help you can give!

try the 10.5 disk, if that doesnt work, use Kalyway distro

iMac ::: Mac OS X 10.6.1 ::: Intel Core2Duo 2.93GHz ::: NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 256MB ::: 4GB DDR3 RAM

Milanca Project ::: Mac OS X 10.6.1 Retail ::: Vanilla Kernel ::: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2.4GHz ::: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 256MB ::: 4GB DDR2 RAM ::: GIGABYTE GA-EP35C-DS3R

Yep, i would use the 10.5 retail disk with the boot132 method if you can.

Mac OS X 10.6.4 Retail || Intel Core2 Duo E8200 2.66GHz || Gigabyte G31M-ES2L || GeForce 6600 GT 128MB || Realtek ALC883 Audio || Realtek RTL8169 LAN || Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB HD || Sony Dual Layer IDE DVD RW DW-D22A || Apple Aluminium Keyboard || Mighty Mouse

MacBook Pro || 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo || 200Gb HD || 2Gb Ram || NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

While waiting for you OSX install dvd you can visit this link and download boot-132 for your board, or even make your own if you want. Here you can find exact cd to boot you machine.
