Instead of changing the motherboard for the card change the card for a card that fits your board. HD4350 is available both as AGP http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161318 and PCI http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600007317%20600007586%20600007853&IsNodeId=1&name=PCI .

Your board is an old Intel socket 478 board. It does not have a designated GPU slot so the only option for better GPU is PCI. A motherboard upgrade would be necessary for the card.
Today it is not cost effective to spend money on a system this old so I would rather suggest a full system upgrade. Something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.482715 is inexpensive and up to date and will allow you to use your new card.
