I have a newly aquired HP DV9700 that I would like to wipe Vista off of and install OSX Leapord. I am new to this whole concept so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone installed the Apple OS on a laptop like this?
Any guides, sites, help files to assist someone on an install like this?

Here are my hardware specs:
HP DV9700
P/N: GT811AV
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz
Mem: 4GB
Video: nVidia GeForce 8400 GS
Dual 120GB 7200rpm SATA
Sound: Realtek High definition sound
HD DVD R/ DL Writer
Wireless: 802.11 b/g/n
bluetooth
Webcam and fingerprint scanner

Thanks in advance,

Hi JPSnuffy.
I have this laptop, and had leopard running pretty nicely on it.
Be advised there is no working driver for the wireless though, I had to pick up a cheap USB wireless card. As I remember it the sleep didn't work so well either.
I put a little info here when I did it:
HCL 10.5.2/Portables - OSx86

Hope this helps and good luck!
