Google 10.6.5 guide.. Works for the latest versions too. For the GPU use GraphicsEnabler parameter in Chameleon, or
alternatively use NVEnabler for the gpu.. as a kernel use legacy kernel..
I have a similar computer (Athlon II X3, 4GB Ram, 9500GT)

Kexts are drivers in Mac OS world. You should google a bit.
