This gives a little more info on your system. Looks like you have AGP8X (AGP 3.0) on your board which there are known fixes for AGP cards (you just have to look around a bit).

for your distro selection, I would recommend Leo4Allv3. I know it is 10.5.2 (I'll help get you the single updates to get to 10.5.5... don't use the combo update or any of the updates through Apple Software Update... we'll use Zephyroth's AMD Software Update). Another distro to try is LawlessPPC. His is 10.5.4 and has broader system support. Go with either of these but when burning, make sure you do it at a much slower speed.

A few more questions on your system make-up... I see from pictures of your motherboard on the site above that you don't have SATA; is this true of your board? IDE works great with OS X and will also enable you to have burning support with the nForce chipset. What other components make up your system and how are they connected (ie. Hard drives - IDE vs SATA, DVD burners - IDE vs SATA, Video Cards - AGP vs PCI, Wireless card [and chipset] - PCI vs USB... etc)?

When you install, make sure you customize and select the proper "drivers" for your system. Also, try to set aside an entire Hard Drive for the purpose of testing it out on your system... it helps to not get other Operating Systems messed up, esp if you plan to keep using windows on your PC as well. Once you've gotten OS X installed we can think about getting your OS's onto the same Drive for ease of OS choice at boot.
