There are a lot of dual boot guides on the forum. Use the search engine.

I have a link to several OS X installation guides for my P7P55D linked in my signature. Take a look there for guidance.

You need to purchase a retail copy of OS X Snow Leopard.

Check out my P7P55D video installation guide that I have linked in my signature. It should give you an idea of how to go about it.

There is a DSDT database in the Resources section of the forum. Take a look there if there is a DSDT that matches your motherboard and bios. No, it is not hardware specific as they have minimal edits.

Did you set SATA Storage Configuration to AHCI in your bios?

Did you type -v PCIRootUID=1 at Chameleon after booting iBoot?

Your video card should work ok, so you shouldn't run into too install issues with it.

This will only work on a retail purchase of OS X Snow Leopard.
