I'm running it on my Extensa 5620z using iATKOS S3 Version 2 - Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (Intel ONLY)

 

Found it best to use partitions and copy the DVD to a backup partition to install it from there as via DVD it threw up a lot of errors

 

From what I remember, you enable Graphics Enabler and x32 boot flag, Voodoo keyboard and mouse

 

the VoodooHDA threw up a couple of kernel panics, so I left this out the install and grabbed the latest version from http://code.google.com/p/voodoohda/ after I installed SL and didn't have any problems with that

 

You need to select the Broadcom Wireless and Broadcom 430 Wired for both network points to work

 

After trial and error I found it installed fine without selected any Intel graphics and had the right resolution etc..

 

Hope this helps anyone that is looking to install Snow Leopard on the 5620z

 

Edit - If you have problems with the USB ports not working, I used IOUSBFamily_378.pkg.zip found here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1337429
