No.

You wont be able to install that version of OS X onto your x86 box.

Why?

Intel Mac's use EFI, whereas x86 rigs use BIOS (although you can get Intel boards with EFI on them).

The only way to get it to run at all is to rig the DVD and replace the EFI with the Darwin bootloader.

I have OS X on a x86 rig myself, but I wont disclose how I did it. To find ou, search on google for osx86.

But again, no. You cannot run non-modified versions of OS X on your non-Apple rigs.
