Yes. 8800gts is able to support your motherboard. The mobo has a PCI Express x16 slots, which the 8800Gts requires.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM

GDDR3, Graphics Double Data Rate 3, is a graphics card-specific memory technology

In layman terms, it's just a technology used in graphics cards. futhermore, GDDR3 is sorta better than DDR2 in writing and reading of data in games ect.

It would support if it has a PCI-express 2.0 x16 slot, newer boards like urs should have.

One other thing is you must have a pci express 6pin or 8pin(or both)connector that can be readily connect the power supply to ur graphics card, if you do not have it, make sure that the graphics card comes with a 6pin or 8pin(or both) to molex connector.

Some graphic card use two 6pin or one 6pin and one 8pin connector, im nt sure whether ur 8800gts uses which, you also need to make sure that ur power supply can draw enough power( not peak power) to supply the graphics card

My 1st 3870x2 uses 1 6pin and 1 8pin pci express power connecter, and my 2nd 3870x2 grahpics card uses two 6pin connecter

oh the graphic card need to supply by another power supply. i thought i only need to put it.

Battlecrusier SG

the graphic card box does not provide me with any wires to connect power supply to my graphic card.

i think the 8800gts need power, you must ask the person selling it to you, and i think minimum is 550 watts, im not veri sure
