HP Pavillion a6000n + OSX86

[thedailyhustle]

At one point I got JaS 10.4.6 working on an old Intel P4 Dell I had a 4 years ago.

 

Now I have an fairly recent (1-2 years old) HP Pavillion a6000n Desktop, wondering what version OSX I can run on this machine if at all with this hardware/specs? Is Snow Leopard possible? I am currently running Gentoo Linux w/ GRUB bootloader and room for OSX partition(s)

 

Specs/Hardware:

 

ASUS M2N68-LA (Narra) Motherboard

Athlon64 X2 5000+ 2.6Ghz (According to CPU-Z it supports SSE3)

GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 chipset (onboard graphics 128MB)

4GB (2x 2gb dual channel) DDR2 800

250GB SATA 3G HD (only about 50Gb partitioned at the moment)

Linksys WUSB54GC Wireless-G USB network adapter

Realtek ALC888 audio

 

I will be researching, but thought I would post a thread here to see whats the highest release of OSX that is possible on this machine at the moment? Or if anyone could point me in the right direction for proper reading. I will be reading guides here in the mean time.

 

Thanks in advance

I recommend that you start by installing Leopard OS X using a AMD compatible distro such as iPC_OSx86 10.5.6 PPF5 FINAL etc........then when you have learned more about what you need (e.g. specific kexts etc.) to run OS X on your system then see one of the AMD Snow Leopard Install Guides on IM.......
