If you want to use it as a primary system, I recommend getting a 4000 series card and sell the 3850. If you plan on also using Leopard, I believe you will need a 4800 series card.

You might want to re-run marvin's utility once you've migrated your files as the kernel you used in 10.5.5 probably included the on-the-fly patcher.
I've got the resolution manually in the Boot.plist. 3850 works without GE/CI in SL, but in Leopard I have QE/CI enabled. I had a lot of problems with making it completely work but it works.

I was thinking about getting a newer card, but I was thinking about radeon 5000 series, but tthey will probably not work in SL for a few more months.

One more question. I would like to change the boot file on my 10.5.5 disk so I can boot both 10.5 and 10.6 from that disk, but will it hurt booting my 10.5.5?

GA MA-790X UD4P, AMD Phenom II X2 550
8 Gb DDR2 667 RAM, ATI HD 3850
WD 640 Gb, Seagate 320 GB
Win XP 64bit & OSX 10.5.5
