Nancy, Two reminders. Don't forget that OSX goes on an 8 GB partition. If you can't start OSX from the install disk, or it doesn't complete the install, the first thing to suspect is the CDROM drive. Some say the internal isn't fast enough, some say there's a termination problem, but it's definitely the first thing to suspect. I have an external CD burner that solved my problem.
Someone else may have experience with your two video cards.
