My x800GTO is running just fine on my nF4 board with an x2 proc.

Even back in the early days of nVidia relasing nForce boards I never have had a problem running a non-nVidia graphics card on them.

nope. you can't. the chips are different, so they cancel each other's performances out.

hehe jk

yeah, you can.
