AMD 7xxx cards

Will the AMD 7xxx run on PCI-e boards

Yes it is for the PCIe X16 interface!

But it is PCI-E 3.0, it will run backward-compatible with 2.1, 2.0 and 1.1, but NOT 1.0, so be sure that your motherboard supports at least 1.1.
You can have a bandwidth bottleneck if the speed is too low, so try to have an PCI-E 2.0 board.

Hope it helps!

Pointless getting a 7xxx series card for that old a system (PCIe ver 1.0) anyway!
