I agree with Rogue. LawlessPPC's distro is the best for your CPU. He did a very thorough job with his distro before releasing it.

When I first started trying out OSx86, I purchased a USB-to-SATA adapter so my system could be installed to. After I had it running fine externally, I tried to find specific kexts that would enable me to use my SATA port internally. Search around a little more for your board model and let us know if you find anything. I'll keep my eyes open.

Or you can enable AHCI mode in WinXP... I think it's a simple registry edit (at least it is in Vista...)
Running both 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 on my stinking AMD/ATi machine...
