It is true that Apple wants their Mac OS to run only on their hardware. You can watch a video via the link below and learn how to install Mac OS X on your laptop though, provided you are prepared to take the risks (including the legal ones) (NOT recommended). Your laptop specifications are good enough to run Leopard.
The answer is mac will not run on PC's it will just give you a headache, also mac will not allow it, there is a lawsuit going on right now from a company cloning mac to PC, spend the extra money on a mac and you can run both leopard and windows. you can do it two ways boot camp or fusion. GS
I wonder if you might be confusing the information with the fact that osx can run xp and vista is a dual boot configuration?
there are ways of hacking it to make osx work on x86. google osx x86 or osx pc and you'll find information on whats involved. I have my doubts about the stability of this and I reckon there'd be a whole bunch of issues with hardware drivers, but Im no expert on the process. You'd need to do some reading.

I don't think you can just have Mac OS on it (correct me if I'm wrong...). But you can use software to dual OS so you have both Windows and Leopard.
Also....Maz OS's hardly run on Apple hardware....they use Intel CPU's too.
The software you can use:
Parallels
VWare
Bootcamp (it comes with Leopard)
