I'm contemplating upgrading my trusty 8800GT to a 4850 X2. Now, I have a Gigabyte EP35-DS3R, which means I don't have SLI, nor Crossfire. Just a single PCI-Express x16 slot. Will I have any problem using this card? I've never used a dual GPU solution.

You only need a single PCI-E slot for this card. You won't have a problem if you uninstall the nVidia driver correctly.
Even if you do uninstall the nvidia driver correctly you may come across issues with the card. I have the 8800gt and upgraded to the 4850x2 to only find it had many driver instability issues (crashed in 3d mode, wouldn't detect 1 display adapter, etc.). So i rma'd it and am waiting on the 5870's or DX11 more to the point. Good luck and hope your experience turns out for the best.
