EDIT: The motherboard is working great. Thanks for the comments.
I having been googling for about a week to find a definitive answer to this question. I have seen other posts on this forum talking about it but they give a very mixed response.
I bought a GTS250 a couple of months ago but I now want to upgrade my motherboard, CPU and ram. I was looking for a good, cheap nvidia mobo with AM3 and DDR3 until I found out there aren't any or if there are they are out of my price range. I know that the latest nvidia mobo design apparently is meant to support all of these but the only good one I found is the Asus M4N82 Deluxe but that doesn't have DDR3 support. I can't find that much information if the DDR2 - DDR3 performance/price ratio is better, but assuming that is, this Asus Motherboard does not have what I want BUT ATI motherboards do.
I don't plan to use SLI and from what I read, ATI motherboards may support Nvidia but there could be performance penalties or incompatibility.
I haven't chosen any specific ATI board yet but I would want one under the AU$200 (~US$180). I will get an AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE and 4GB of DDR3 ram.
I am asking here as I have had previous graphics card / motherboard compatibility issues in the past and I don't want to have more in the future. (9800GT was incompatible with current motherboard)
I could switch to an intel board but the price of a good CPU is too high.
So the question is, will my GTS250 work on a ATI motherboard NOT using SLI?
