I hope you have some decent air-flow through your case. The GT can run a little warm especially when it's always running in "3D mode". In the OSX Desktop (or using Vista aero) it'll be running in that mode... Note that the "GPU slowdown temperature" for the 8600GT and GTS is 125C (not farenheit - celcius... that translates to over 250 degrees F ) - so it's built to run at fairly high temps. Still, anything much over 70-80C makes me nervous. You'll notice artifacts and/or pixelation if it starts running too hot. With my fanless Gigabyte cards, I make sure the case has plenty of airflow and I try my best to pull cool air past the video cards heatsink.
Running both 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 on my stinking AMD/ATi machine...
