Your motherboard will be able to handle it, though could you list your power supply's name and amperage on the 12V rails? The reason I'm asking about this is because a no-name, low output power supply may not be able to handle the addition of a 3850 in your system.

You're better off saving more money and rebuilding. You're trying to upgrade a socket 478 system. For about $500, you can build a decent Core2Duo system.

I'll change the ps, if needed.

I thought about that, but I have some budget problems, so I won't change my system for some years.

That still doesn't answer my question, which was asking about the PSU name and model.
My concern here is that sub-par PSUs tend to go off with a bang, as in, when they go, they horrendously over volt certain voltage rails, which then kills a lot of your components.

It's OPS +12V/18.0A and -12V/0.5A

Sounds like a good idea to swap for a newer PSU. A single 12v rail and a AGP MB makes me think it`s getting old. They lose performance over time and the HD3850 draws over 60Watts at full load (5 Amps at 12v nominal) combined with a power-hungry old style CPU this could push the PSU a little too hard for comfort.
If you have a `normal` setup (1 or 2 HDD 1 or 2 DVD 1 CPU and 3 or 3 fans) I`d suggest 400-450W from a good maker like PC power and Cooling, Antec, Corsair, Seasonic or OCZ.

I'll change PSU then.
What about this feature? ==>PCI Express 2.0 x16 bus interface> my AGP bus can handle it?

Yes, the card is actually a PCI-E design with an interface chip and modified board to convert it to AGP.
