Even if the graphics card was supported by your motherboard, the CPU is so old it would massively bottleneck the performance of the GPU, might be best to buy a new motherboard and CPU, should only cost you around $300 for a relatively high end components.

Can't say for sure since you didn't state your motherboard. But, I'd be willing to bet that your motherboard does have a PCI-E port, which means that you can put any new video in it. But, like the poster above me said, you will bottleneck with any of today's cards.
