You should check which Device ID your GMA950 has. Some versions of GMA doesn't play well with OS X.

 

In best case (depending on the ID) scenario it should be working with retail OS X+Chameleon+DSDT patch and no other stuff needed. Unfortunately this doesn't work with all GMAs.

It should be good as the device id is 27A2.

 

As far as retail OSX, would Snow Leopard 10.6.3 suffice? Not sure I'm going to be a fan of Lion.

Yes, 27A2 is "the best case scenario" :D

 

I have SL X.6.8 on my notebook (with GMA950, 27A2, DSDT+Chameleon) and it's working very well (driver is 32bit mode only, however my CPU is 32bit only so it doesn't bother me much). As far as I remember it has always worked properly (though I've used X.6.4 to start with).

 

AFAIK Lion is no joy with GMA950. You'd better stay with SL.
