what options should i be choosing for an nvidia 8800 gts and 9800 gts?
Personally I wouldn't choose anything. Not selecting anything for graphics will give you default 1024x768 no QE/CI but your in OSX and you can fix this problem after the fact. If you select the wrong driver or multiple drivers for video you are going to run into issues.
Once you in OSX you can install one of the various drivers (kexts) available. A good choice would be NVinject available here: http://nvinject.free.fr/ Your card may require a few other things to be done then just installing the kext. This is explained on their site. Once you get up and running and have downloaded the file we can help you out with that.

and is the sb600 chip set in the VIA and SB chipset driver kexts?
This will be a problem as certain distros do not support sb600.

I know the below distro should work.

LawlessPPC-10 5 4-Phenom-AMD
This image is a remixed Zephyroth 10.5.2 rev2 release.
If this DVD does not boot on your system then its not meant to be installed on your system!!!

Changes to Zephyroth release are as follows.

*** Chameleon bootloader Ver 1.0.11 (used for DVD booting & installed on drive by default.)
*** Modbin 9.4.0 Kernel SSE3 (installed by default)
*** Alc888 (audio) 3 port, 6 ports + Digital (Fixed)
*** NTFS-3G latest version (solves slow shutdowns)
*** ATI SB600 Issue (solves still waiting for root device when trying to install)
*** ATI HD-3650 Support (QE/CI Enabled) No white menus!!!)

We have discussed installing to 790FX/sb600 motherboards recently here: http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/instal...00-with-t1861/ but it has not really gone anywhere yet.

You might also want to add your system specs to your signature. Be sure to add your chipset.
