Gateway LX6810 intel quad core?

[WilliamsEph97]

Has anyone had luck installing OSX86 (retail or any distro) on a Gateway LX6810? The local Best Buy has it on sale for $779. On the Gateway website there is not much info on its specs. Motherboard is listed just as an "Intel". The CPU is an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200. Thanks.
