I have this GPU - Sapphire HD5450 1GB DDR3 - link

Can I use the GPU on this motherboard - Asus M4N68T-M LE - link?

(The motherboard has NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a)

Or, would you suggest some other AM3/AM3+ motherboard within a budget of 3k (IDE port is a must)?
[I am not getting Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 or Asus M4A78LT-M LE in the market or online]

I got this info from google - link

Yes. Absolutely. Even I use a Nvidia card on a AMD chippev motherboard. No trouble.

why do ATi and nVidia graphic cards work in Intel chipset motherboards??

Only thing which matters is a PCI Express slot.
