According to NVIDIA website, the Quadro 2000 is a 65W card. It doesn't require supplemental power. Assuming the PC has a PCIe graphics slot and a 350W power supply, you should be able to test it. Some really old motherboards have AGP video slot. You will have to determine what type graphics slot that motherboard has.
Hi! Thanks for the quick reply. The motherboard does have a AGP video slot, but can I still use one of the other PCI slots for graphics? I remember in the BIOS it has an option that allows you to pick either AGP or PCI to scan for a video card first. I haven't had a desktop since this old one, my concern is that I don't know if the PCI are too old? If that is even an issue?
