I honestly don't think so. I think that Audio and Ethernet chip are unsupported in Mountain Lion anyways. Maybe SL.

Depends on the model, I doubt it will work as well.

serious question, how you gonna pay for osx then?

technically your system will work.
however, the lan and audio wont be 'straightforward'. the AD1988B needs voodoohda (can get specific voodoohda for that chipset) and the 88E8055 has workarounds/kexts to get it working.

the rest is straight forward pretty much. can make your own dsdt for that board easily, gfx card is supported, cpu is supported.

remember though, we dont support piracy or distros. if your going to do it, buy snow leopard off of ebay.
then update this thread, and ask for help if needed.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for piracy, I can tell you I don't have that... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you get a legit disc, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I will delete this thread.
