I have this after installing iPC 10.5.6:

NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT:

VRAM (Total): 512 MB

and now, i am running on OS X 10.5.7

but I get a blue screen whenever I've tried to change display resolutions. i've tried nvinject. My display doesn't have a DVI out or am i missing something? Would greatly appreciate any insights you guys might have. Thanks.

Try using an EFI string in replace of nvinject.

Use NVKush. It's just a problem with NVInject.
