Well that isn't a link to a motherboard, but any motherboard that has that chip in it will have at least one PCIe x16 graphics slots, so yes. RAM is not a factor in selecting a video card.

What you do need to be concerned with is available power. Your power supply must meet a minimum in order run a video card.

Average Intel PC consumes about 100W-150W these days. Make sure you have at least a 300W-400W supply if not more.
