I've never heard of a mobo not liking it. What you have to watch out for is running out of IRQs or IRQ sharing problems. You should try to put the new card in a slot that doesn't share an IRQ with anything else. If you have a lot of PCI cards that may be difficult.

Sometimes you get two cards that don't get along.

I was using a Geforce3 Ti200 and a Savage4 and it didn't work well. Changed the Savage for a Geforce2 MX and it works great.

Since you already have an Nvidia card you may want to do the same.
