So much for that, PC won't even POST with video card in. Balls.  Could be DOA but my guess is its the motherboard, will need a new one unless I can sort it. Was looking forward to some COD 4 action.  Back to 6800 for now.

Well after reading a lot about this it seems the card is not compatible with the motherboard because it needs a x16 PCI-E slot where as mine is a x4 and nvidia didn't write the video bios to support older slots. So:
My question is what is currently a good motherboard to support the above hardware? (Asus and less than £100 preferred)

Can't complain really, new Video card, one of the latest motherboards and a +-DVD re-writer for £250.  _________________
