Answer 1

The Intel 925X will support your graphics card but will not support sli in case you want to add another Graphics Card in SLI try getting one of these:

ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i $130 or XFX nForce 680i LT SLI Motherboard  $119

Answer 2

PCI Express* bus architecture PCI Express* x16 graphics delivers up to 4 GB/s per direction for up to 3.5 times more bandwidth than AGP8X21. PCI Express x1 I/O offers 500 MB/s concurrently, up to 3.5 times more bandwidth than PCI at 133 MB/s32.  View PCI Express* Animation

Yes it will work.

Answer 3

Your motherboard has a PCI-E16x video card slot and that card is a great video card and is a PCI-E16x too. so yes it will fit and you will have a very fast system given you have enough ram and stuff.
