If you have PCIe 1.1, a PCIe 2.0 Card WILL work.
If you have 1.0 or 1.0a it will NOT work.
I've yet to figure this out but $10 says it shows up some point in the boot screen / DMI. I'll let you know if I can figure out a simple way to find out specifically what type of PCIe you have.
If you get a new motherboard you might have to get a new CPU. Currently, I also have a similar chipset and run a P4 530HT 3GhZ Prescott Series LGA775. I, too, was looking at the 8800GT but couldn't get it at best buy (ridiculous prices) - I'll wait, though.
