Nvidia 7300GT and Snow Leopard retail 10A432 issue

I've managed to follow the instructions here and in iHackintosh and successfully installed SL on my AMD machine (which has a running 10.5.8 Leopard) on an extra 40GB IDE drive (using AppleNforceATA.kext), using GUID partition. I run it with -x32 flag for 32-bit mode.

There was no sound at first, but managed to use the AppleAC97Audio.kext in 32-bit mode (64-bit won't accept any of the 32-bit driver obviously). The issue now is how to make my graphics card work. Whenever I set the EFI string (Nvidia 7300GT 256 DDR2) on com.apple.Boot.plist inside the /Extra folder and reboot to the disk, the mouse is screwed up (going everywhere) and the interface is just sluggish (imagine a slow motion effect on your monitor).

Wondering if the SL NVDANV40Hal.kext has something to do with it or if there's already a solution for this issue. I've searched for days now on all forums and have yet to find a problem similar to mine.

Any help to resolve this would be great, so I may go to the next problem which is the Disk Utility repair issue (that I've already seen a solution to but requires me to have another running SL).

EDIT: Suddenly dawned on me that this is a QE/CI issue, so now I know what to look for particularly and hoping that there's a solution out there.
