    • CPU is an Intel Pentium III @ 800MHz
    • Graphics Controller is an Intel 82810E
    • Motherboard is an Asus HAWK 1.08
    • I have 512 MB SDRAM

    I know that with these less-than-desirable speeds, Leopard is the best I can get, but that's only IF I can hackintosh.

    So, can I?

    no

    The reason it wont work is because Mac OS X requires at least an SSE2 processor which the pentium 3 is not.

    If you really want to though you could try this: http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/
    I got pear pc running panther on a penitum 3 machine before.

    Sorry, but absolutely not. For many reasons besides processor. None of those are compatabile with OS X. You could buy a cheap netbook; if i may suggest a Dell Mini V10.
