you are not going to have much luck installing with that HD6670. You need an older card like the 8800GS to install with as SL has no support for the HD6xxx series cards.

Also, your Pentium is on the edge of too old/might not work and might work. If the regular iBoot doesn't work for you, try the iBoot Legacy 2.7.2 - or go ahead and get that Core2Quad and use it instead.

You choice of video card for SL is not one of the better ones - this unit has limited success w SL.
From what GOOGLE search I did on that subject. "HD6670 + Snow Leopard"

I suggest you read these links

http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...graphics-cards-framebuffer-personalities.html

You may need to edit the type of frame buffer that Chimera see for the ATI card.

Also you should see this link
http://www.tonymacx86.com/basics/116220-do-i-need-graphicsenabler-injection-not.html

You may need to use the GraphicsEnabler= YES/NO for startup.

If you have alternative cards or one you can pull from older / other hardware
see how they match up w this chart.

Update#2

Also the boot switches - "-v PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=No" .
