I have 10.8.5 up and running great on my hackintosh. I would like to be able to partition my 120GB SSD to be able to also run 10.6.8 (I have some older audio production software that I paid good money for and won't run on 10.8). Is this possible with my hardware? I haven't seen many encouraging posts of people successfully getting this sort of legacy dual boot up and running well.

My setup:
GA z77n-wifi
i5-3570k
HD 4000 (no graphics card)
120 GB SSD (OS 10.8 and apps)
1 TB HHD (data storage)
8 GB RAM

You cannot run Snow Leopard on your hardware. SL has no support for Ivy Bridge CPUs or HD4000.
