Where to start? iboot, iboot + legacy, iboot + multibeast?? Help please

[itnorfolk]

Hey Guys,

I've got an Acer Aspire 7741g 17" laptop

Spec:

Intel® Core™ i5-460M Dual Core Processor
17.3" HD+ Screen
8GB DDR3 RAM
1TB HDD
1GB DDR HD5650 ATI Graphics

I could easily fit an Intel® Core™ i7-720QM Dual Core Processor (I have it sitting here).

Firstly, What software do I need? I'm looking to install the most up-to-date mac os that I can get, but I'm unsure if Mountain Lion will work....

Do I need to use iboot, iboot+legacy or boot+multibeast?

If I partition my current hard drive 2 x 500MB can I use mac os and windows 7 dual booting or will I need to reinstall windows 7 after mac?

I'm sorry if these have been asked before but I have searched and googled and just cannot find a straight forward answer....

First try iBoot+ Retail SL DVD. If you can't get it to install, try with iBoot Legacy for unsupported CPUs + Retail SL DVD.

You can dual boot with Win7 on same HDD - see http://www.tonymacx86.com/snow-leop...multibooting-novice-updated-3-12-see-log.html
