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.

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.
