I installed OSX 10.4.8, it runs perfectly on my laptop as well, except for the sound, got everything else working. Just waiting for the drivers working for my sound.

actually u can install it on an AMD pc,there is a patch available for AMD procies and that patch works fine as i have an AMD PC...the AMD patched image iz available on demonoid....if u wanna check whether ur pc's components are compatible or not then check out this HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY LIST for OSX 10.4.8:-

^^ C2D is supported. Check the compatibility list for details.

Well i just installed 10.4.8 successfully, but doesn't boot :( it gets as far as the apple boot logo, there is hdd activity for 20 seconds, and then the display goes blank, and nothing happens :(
