If it fits, you can play. If it doesn't, it's gonna scream.

It should work. There are a few cases where a pcie 2.1 card will not work in a 1.x slot, but should be ok so long as its not a super old motherboard that doesnt have any recent BIOS updates. If it doesnt work you can take it back as ATI states minimum requirements are a pcie x16 slot of any type, so it should work. The card is 24cm long make sure you have enough room in your case.
