Nope you can run any card in a single card configuration.
The fact its a nvidia SLI chipset means that you can only run nvidia cards on it if you want more than one card. (ie you can't run crossfire on it)
For reference I have a Asus P5N-E SLI and I am running a single X1900XT on it now.

No a 8800GT is quite a bit quicker than a 3850 however it also costs quite a bit more. (around the £170 mark versus £120)
Check out a few reviews before making your decision.
(the firingsquad review is pretty good as it shows both the 3850 and the 8800GT along with the older 2900 / X1950pro cards)

Hi
if your looking to buy a HD3850 for about £120 that has 256 meg of memory. why not get the OcUK GeForce 8800 GT 256MB for £146.86 . i know there not in stock at the moment but im sure they will get them soon and it has the same amount of memory on it and a better card for about £26 more.

because you can get a hd3850 256mb for £105, thats their rrp aswell. the rrp on the 3870 is £140, and you can get them for that, the 3850 512mb rrp is £125 for an overclocked model, so maybe £115-120 for a non overclocked model.

indeed...
Jamemoff if you do want decent gfx please dont buy a lesser card other than the new radeon 3850 or a 8800gt, as the next lot down are seriously compromised in the performance department. try and stretch your budget to one mentioned - they wil be awesomely better than the cheaper ones!
