Yes, this is my third topic on the same subject, but since no-one seems to answer what I consider the most important question, I think it needs to be asked first thing.

Recently I won a Gigabyte ATI Radeon X850 XT (GV-RX85T256V-B), but it is PCI-Express, so I will need to upgrade my motherboard (and therefore processor)

I've decided to get an AM2 motherboard, but then I'm stuck for choice within that group.

So, here are my questions:

1) Out of the following list, are there any known compatability problems I would encounter when using this card with the board?
Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe
Asus M2V
Asus M2N-E
Asus M2N-SLI DELUXE (though this may be the first board, DABS lists it as a seperate product)
Asus M2NPV-VM
Gigabyte GA-M51GM-SG2
Gigabyte GA-M55PLUS SG3

2) I will likely need to upgrade my power supply as well - how exactly do i determine which power supply I'd need?

Thanks in advance.

Heard good things about the Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe board.
Shouldn't be any compatibility problems, though this board is pretty expensive.
