Greg,
Look although you are using a different mobo, you are experiencing the 
same problems that I ran into.  At one point I managed to get a 
graphical display but at the resolution was extremely low 800x640 I 
believe, and no way to change it because it didn't look like the kernel 
recognized the monitor at all.

I just took a stab at a card figuring that no one else seemed to be 
having issues. I don't do anything graphically intensive so I just 
looked for what I thought was a good deal , and this card looked like a 
good deal, with a $10 rebate
