It has the Atom processor, 1GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, Wireless, 1.3 Webcam, 10.2" screen and NO blueooth. It is currently running Win XP very well.

Problem is, I don't want to run XP. I want OSX. I am currently using 10.5 on my new Mac Mini, and I want to have this same functionality on the go. I do not have the funds for a new Mac laptop, so I thought I would repurpose my Averatec to make a hackintosh.

I have found lots of online sources of info, but I don't know whom to trust. Can anyone suggest a good source of info on this?

I have OS 10.5 install discs, but they are specific to my mini. Do I need to buy a retail box for this? Also, Is there any way to install everything via USB thumb drive, as I do not have an external/USB DVD drive.

This is an adventure for me, but I really do want to end up with something that I can put in my purse and take with me. I love macs, and I am tired of waiting for an Apple netbook. I do have an iPod touch, which I love, but I still want the better functionality of a netbook. Wifi is s deal breaker - I need it.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
