Fermi Card's

[Theblackoutow]

Would I be able to put a Fermi card in my MOBO?

They aren't even released yet...

If they are PCI-E then you should be able to, since then 5850 your running is pci-e.

I know they're not released, also I have no idea why I think graphics card are locked to a single MOBO...

graphics cards aren't locked to a single mobo, in fact i've never even heard of such a thing, unless you are talking about integrated.

 

[Theblackoutow]

I meant like one motherboard was meant for Nvidia, one for ATI. The same of Intel and AMD.

No.

That's only with SLi / Crossfire, You can easily stick a AMD card on an nVidia chipset

You have different motherboards for AMD/Intel because the processors, the underlying transport technologies (HT/QPI/FSB/whatever) and the physical sockets are fundamentally different. With graphics cards, they all connect through standard PCI-E, so as long as you have one (you do if this is your sig computer we're talking about) it'll work (provided your PSU can give it enough power, which it should). The only time you should be concerned about the motherboard is, as Bootup said, when planning a SLI/Crossfire setup, in which case you'll need a compatible chipset. This has no bearing to ordinary multi-GPU setups where you get extra cards to support more monitors, however.
