[Asus] Will this graphics card work with my old mobo?

Last response: in Motherboards

Hey guys,

I recently had my PSU go out on an old(er) computer and it took the GPU with it. While it still displays, its giving me a "You are not connected to an NVIDIA device" when I see it sticking out of the card, so its time to replace. I am just going to use it as a media machine and build anew, my concern is a lot of the cards are DDR3 and my old board is DDR2. Now I know as memory goes, I can do nothing about this, but is it the same for GPUs?

Here is the mobo in question:

And here is the GPU:

So, are they compatable?
