    I just finished upgrading the Celeron 520 in the Compaq 6720s to a Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4GHz. Would this be a good hackintosh for Lion?

    I need to be able to run Xcode at a relatively good speed, along with 1 or 2 games from Steam.

    The Integrated GPU is an Intel X3100. I know it's not fantastic but if it were able to run Team Fortress 2 and Portal, that'd be great.

    2GB, but I'm upgrading it to 4GB.

    Technically it could handle Lion, but it all depends on the motherboard and GPU support out there. Which I am not sure about since most sources I use have let me down before.
