Abit IP35 Pro question...

Hello all... nice to meet you.

I've got a real quick question. I've been out of the loop on pc building for a couple years. I hope I'm posting this in the correct room. If not, I apologize.

My current rig has an abit ip35 pro mobo. I want to upgrade my video card and I was really leaning towards the ATI HD5850. Will that card work with this board? I've been reading conflicting reports. Some say yes and that the 2.1 card can run on the board, but others say it can't.

Any input would be appreciated.
