You can of course make a separate partition, you can do it with Disk Utility from the DVD Installer, but if you dont want to erase all your data you would need to use a third party tool like Parted Magic or similar non-destructive partition editor.
Newer nForce storage controllers have very bad support in OS X, if yours can be run in AHCI mode it will work, but in IDE mode it probably wont or be very slow.

The new iATKOSv7 should be compatible with your motherboard. If you need additional information on the release, their forums can be located at http://www.uphuck.com

Most likely, you'll have to boot the installer with the cpus=1 kernel flag.

Good luck.
