U may want 2 upgrade the config as well......ur card will bottleneck with that config....The card has support for pci 2.0 not that it wont work on 1.0....considering urs is a micro-atx mobo.....the bigger ques is how u will fit the card in?????

you'll have to check with asus

if the slot is 1.1 compliant you will be fine, likely the situation
if the slot is 1.0 then it will not work
