NO. your motherboard only support AGP video cards. PCI-E 16x is a graphic card slot.

PCI-E is the new better cards. AGP will die in a couple of years. i never even heard of that company. lol. for $200 for a mobo, you could get one of the best boards.

Newegg won't let you return unless its under 30 days. Although... my video card got fried a week ago, I called them up, got an RMA number, and then I mentioned it was over 30 days old. Then the person was like "Well, we already gave you an RMA number so... I guess we have to RMA it." So I was like hah! You fools!
