The short answer: No it's not supported.
The long answer:
You need an AGP graphics card for your motherboard. The graphics card you listed needs a PCI-Express motherboard to work.

On a side note: Is this a desktop computer or a notebook?

How big is the case?
Since it's a mobile-on-desktop platform my guess you also need a shorter bracket and half height PCB on your graphics card.

PCIe and PCI are not the same, and AGP and PCIe or PCI are not the same.

Imo, you might want to build a new PC instead of even considering upgrading (possibly except RAM).
