So basically I have tried the Empire EFI method, and it tries to boot, and it either freezes a little ways after detecting the chipset, I have also tried to boot from a USB DVD-ROM and get the " Waiting for root device" error.

My Mainboard has the same chipset & using this (prior) AMD release of EmpireEFI worked just fine for me:

I love my ATI.  I think the HD4670 is a good choice for the mid-price sector, you just need to reinstall 10.6.2 Framebuffer kexts after 10.6.3 Update - the only deficit of the 46X0 cards is that you can just connect one display - either through VGA or DVI - no dual monitoring possible.
Of course a GeForce 9 (or one of it's silly rebrands  ) is easier to set up, as they tend to work just using GraphicsEnabler...
