Yeah the graphics memory and the system memory are 2 different things so it doesnt matter what kind of memory the GPU has. the importnant things is that you have agp 8x and a good enough PSU.

short answer: yes
Long answer: yeeeeeeeeees

:P the only thing u really need to worry about is that its PCI-E or AGP, and if u want best performance that the slot runs as PCI-E 2 and 16X but tbh with the GPU above that stuff doesnt matter.

just make sure its AGP or PCI-E depending on the Motherbaord
