Hi! I'm new here. This is my branded PC which I bought recently on Dell online. Specs are as follows:

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 3.40 GHz, 8MB
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Panther Point H77 (Ivy Bridge)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640
Memory: 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
Wireless: Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz)  <-- Wired is also ok for me
Hard Disk: 1TB 7200 RPM SATA
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

I have retail Snow Leopard and Lion. Are they compatible? If not, any suggestions for other distros?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

have to rollback AppleACPIPlatform.kext after updating to 10.8.2

Got a more recent XPS8500, with this specs:

Intel H77 LGA 1155 Motherboard
Intel® Core™ i7-3770 processor (3.40 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.90 GHz)
16Gb RAM
2GB AMD Radeon™ HD 7870 (DVI, HDMI, VGA)

I know ATI card is unsupported but I read somewhere that the Intel Motherboard has and Intel GMA integrated and usable with OSX, ¿is there any guide or tutorial to follow and get
a vanilla/retail installation?

Thanks in advance.
