hop on a torrent site (demoniod is THE best and they opened there registartion for today)

look for the Jasinstall of mac os x86 10.4.8(or 7, i got 8 tho)

then just slap the cd in, boot off the cd, use disk utility to format the hdd for mac use, install (skip disk verify) and enjoy (note, i had problems with my keyboard on my amd AFTER install, it worked during install but when aqua started up it wouldnt read the kb) but i pulled the hdd out , slaped it in the dell and finished the registration, then slaped it back in the amd and the kb worked in osx itself

the dell supported all the hardware out of box but on the amd it didnt pick up my auditgy 2 , but it did pick up both my firewire 400 and 800 (imove HD time? lol)

PS. you can use that cd to install on all intel and powerpc macs as well as pc based intel and amd's
