Are there any issues with using an ATI 5870 on an nVidia motherboard?

Are there any issues with using an ATI 5870 on an nVidia motherboard? I have an Alienware machine, so I'm not entirely sure on the make of motherboard, however, I do know it's got nforce on it and allows me to use nVidia cards in SLI.

It does not matter. There will be no problems in using an ATi graphics card on an nVidia chipset motherboard, or vice-versa. Just be sure that prior to installing the ATi card, you boot into Windows in safe mode, remove the existing nVidia drivers and then install the ATi drivers post installing the hardware to ensure no driver conflicts crop up.
