I'm rebuilding my old system for a friend for LAN Parties. I'm using most of the old parts from Intel d79951, a Q6600 processor. a 550w PSU and 8gb DDR2. (I realize it's not amazing, but it's better than the 4 year old laptop he's running)

I'm seeing if I can switch the old x1950 Pro for the more powerful HD 4870. I'm just wondering if the 4870 will work on this motherboard. I've tried it on a different DDR2 mobo (I forget the make), and it didn't want to work, so I'm not sure about this one.

The Intel d79951 motherboard is compatible with the HD4870, so unless the board or the card itself are busted in some way, they should work together.
