Hello everyone, I was looking for some help installing Mac OS X on a laptop I recently bought (Best Buy had it on sale for US$500:headbang:) so i can run windows and OS X side by side. I have done this before with my Gateway PC which had an AMD processor but I was pretty horrible at setting it up and selecting the best settings during installation although I eventually got it to work. I have listed the full specs of the computer i want to run OS X on above. I would like to know which distribution of OSx86 would be best for me and what settings to select during installation. Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you guys
