Will an nVidia GeForce GTX 260 work with my motherboard?

I am going to get an nVidia GeForce GTX 260 graphics card so I can play games a lot better. The only thing is that I don’t know if it’s compatible with my motherboard. My motherboard is an Asus A8N-VM CSM-NBP. Will a GTX 260 work with this motherboard?
Well I looked at this link.

And if you scroll down a little and look under Technical Features, and then find Expansion Slots, it says…

“PCI Express x16 x 1 • PCI Express x1 x 1 • PCI x 2″

Does that mean that it has a PCI Express Slot? I am kinda new to this so I don’t really know.

You board only has one PCI Express slot according to asus’ website http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=0&model=1127&modelmenu=1 . IT will work with the nVidia GeForce GTX 260 video card but only one of them (assuming your like me and can’t afford two then it’s no big deal). According to nVidia’s website you will need a psu with the rating of 500 watts minimum and a 6 pin x2 connector.

FYI, for about $200 you can upgrade your motherboard and AMD cpu to the AM2/AM2+ socket which will also give you a faster bus and memory speed then your DDR400 socket 939 board allows (allowing you to take better advantage of that nVidia 260 video card).
