yes. 1.x and 2.0 mobos/video cards are fully backwards compatible.

Overclock it a bit, and you've got a 3870, which is 10-25% below an 8800GT.
Excellent card for the price!

and to for this bloak: and you've got a 3870, which is 10-25% below an 8800GT.
A HD 3870 is slower in most games without AA on. and faster with AA on. About 10-15% either way. Just my 50 cents

I would ask you what your current card is. CPU bottlenecking is not a yes-no question. everything is percentages. An athlon 64 3200 will bottle neck a small percentage more then an Athlon 64 3400 , which bottlenecks a small percentage more then an Atholon 3600 .
That said, my short answer would be yes, you are OK to use this CPU. If your LGA 775 (which you are unless you REALLY managed to push a northwood) you can get a Pentium D on ebay for cheap, if you feel like dealing with the e-bay bog. A more powerful CPU will of course give more performance, but I think you're ok.
@ dif in pixel fill between 512mb and 256mb ver:
there is no difference. If the core speed is different there will be a difference, but it is minimal. If you've noticed, these guys don't make a page for separate memory sizes because the difference in memory size doesn't really effect anything else on the page. (except the 7800GTX 512mb, this card had substantial difference between the 7800GTX 256mb, warranting the two pages).
@ the two PSU guys:
Donno, depends: there are good PSUs and there are bad PSUs. A Seasonic HB 380W can do this card no trouble, an Apvia 450W couldn't.
Not going into ripple or voltage regulation (which can kill any component of your system): I would suggest a PSU with a single 20A 12V rail or greater. On the side of your PSU there is a chart. Under the "12V" column, look up the amperage. IF there is no chart, its a shitty PSU, ditch it, and get a Corsair VX450W (cheap and very well performing).
@ can a D 3.0GHz handle this card:
I would give you the same answer as the P4 3.4Ghz guy, in general yes, but It would be a good idea to upgrade. Just because your on dual core doesn't mean your better off, infact your pretty much worse off, as many games will look at your CPU, and see only 1 thread. In this case your running a game just as if you had a P4 3.0GHz.
And yeah, you guys, this card supports DX 10.1, add dat please.

Anyways, kudos to AMD marketing, they saved the engineering teams ass here. the R600 couldn't perform. What does AMD do? Go after Nvidias only real hole: the $150-$250 range. They did it perfectly. There no way you could consider Nvidia;s 8400GS - 8600GTS AND THEN THIS MASSIVE HOLE 8800GTS 320mb - 8800GTX a decent card lineup. that massive hole is now filled with the HD3850 and 3870. :)

Well , the HD 3850 and HD3870 prettymuch saved ATI .

1) amd64 4000 skt 939
2) 2 gb ram in dual channel
3) X1950pro PCI-e
would it be better to upgrade the x1950pro to a HD3850 pro, or upgrade my whole system to
1) P35 motherboard
2) core 2 duo 6750
3) 2 gb ram
But keep the x1950pro

is it good for p4 3.2ht(478)?
guest
it runs satisfactorily on P4 systems... i also observed my friend with these cardz HD3870... it has better performance and no bottleneck.
as for my Brazilian friend.... buy a better PSU with 600 watts capacity.... and reformat your drive...
actually my friend used it in a core 2 duo system with 3.0ghz clock. it has fluid for crysis.... i aslo borrowed it and used it on my P4 system.... it was not as fast as his..... but it can play Call of duty 4 perfectly

Just wondering, because the 2900 has a 512-bit memory interface.

And uhm... ATi's 320 shader processors = 64x5 shader processors... which is essentially 64 shader processors that can do 5 things at a time .
I hope I can extend my budget to get the HD 3870...
*EDIT* I can get the 256MB for about 123$, and the 3870 for 166$.

Your processor would be the bottleneck at that resolution.
