Hey guys
I am currently using a Radeon X1950 Pro in my old rig. Sadly, my X1950 Pro is currently dieing and is crashing with graphical artefact and corruption every time I open up a game or watch something that require's some kind of power (Ex: Youtube video, etc). I also have multiple graphical corruption on my desktop (really in bad shape ).
I have a very limited budget and found out that the best choice for my price range (no more than 90$ before Taxes) would be an AMD Radeon HD 6670 2GB video card. However, since my computer is kinda old, I fear that it would not support the said video card.
Could you guys help me sort that out and tell me if I can go on and do the purchase?

My power supply is an Antec Basiq 500 Watt Power Supply BP500U
My current computer:
Motherboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/VIA/4CoreDual-SATA2/
Edit 1: I know that my motherboard only has a PCI-E x4 slot. However, I've figured that a PCI-E video card running at x4 would still be much faster than an AGP one. Furthermore since manufacturers doesn't create AGP cards anymore, I would have to stick to really, really low end Graphic Card.
Edit 2: It wouldn't support DDR5 video card memory, right?
Thanks a lot to anyone that is willing to give it a look/help me
