Ok, got 10.5.1 to install. Since I have the SB600 southbridge, i used an enclosure to install to, and had to install from an ide dvd drive.
I then put the sb600 kext in, got it working on that, moved to internal ide. everything seemed like it was moving snappy. I then tried to install graphics and audio, thats when i started having problems. It doesn't see my card correctly, it sees it as a 760 mb card, when i have the 8800gt 512. So I have no QE, but do have CI. My system started acting really sluggish at this point. I now have to boot -f -x everytime and get to safe mode, which is incredibly slow. I'm going to try and inject the sb600 kext into the 10.5.1 dvd and try again, as it takes 10 min to boot, let alone do anything else.

Full system specs:
Biostar TA770
SB600
AMD 5000+ BE
Seagate 320 sata
Samsung dvd sata
eVGA 8800gt superclock 512mb

Does 10.5.2 rev. 1 have sb600 support native?
Will it properly install my 8800gt 512 out of the box?
