I don't believe that card ever came in an AGP form factor. If it did, then yes, you can use it. If not and your motherboard does not have a PCI-E slot (your specs only mention AGP), then no, you cannot use that card.

For future reference, GPU Memory and System Memory have nothing to do with each other. You can use a DDR5 graphics card on a computer that runs DDR2 system RAM.

The memory type is not a problem, memory on a graphics card is separate to that on the motherboard so they are totally independent of each other.
Your system cannot use the EAH5450 card because the card uses a PCI-E connector and your motherboard does not have that type of slot. The motherboard will ONLY accept either AGP or PCI cards (note, that is PCI, not PCI-E, they are very different, just so you don't think I've made a typo here).
