thanks!!

the most important thing is mobo and proper leo iso. Ive built to PC comps that boot leo without any issues. Here is mine:
- Motherboard - Asus P5K-VM
- Video - GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB
- RAM - 4 GB of OCZ SLI (4x1gb in dual channel mode)
- CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
- HDD1 - Seagate Barracuda 250GB (vista)
- HDD2 - old Seagate Barracude 80GB (40GB for mac, 40GB for time machine)
- iAtkos 5i - this one is the best from what i had (ive tried kalyway and ideneb). U can use native Update with it.
The second comp ive built:
- Motherboard - Asus P5B-VM SE (i think, but SE for sure)
- Video - OnBoard (support for dx10)
- RAM - 2 GB of OCZ
- CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E7400
- HDD1 - Seagate Barracuda 250GB (vista + mac)
- iAtkos 5i
Both comps are booting 10.5.6 with SDK 3.0
