Hello Adam,

 

I'm afraid to tell you that it will not.

 

Your Motherboard specifications, listed here, state that you have 1 x AGP expansion slot and 3 x PCI Slots.

 

The card you are looking at is a PCI-E, which differs from a standard PCI slot I am afraid.

 

If you want to know what to look for, look for either an AGP or a PCI compatible card, just not PCI-E

ok thats great thank you, not sure if there is one for my motherboard but what i am looking for is a card with an hdmi output, if there is, is there one you would recommend??

I shall look now for you.

 

May Ia sk why do you require a HDMI output?

 

And are you aware that a HDMI output Graphics card will not carry sound?

i am trying to upgrade my old pc to a type of media centre to connect to my tv. i was hoping the hdmi would be the best way to connect it. at the moment i connect my laptop to my tv via vga but the have to use speakers plugged into my laptop for sound witch is a bit of a pain as i use it for work. so was trying to be a bit eco (lol)
