Hmmm. No, no. that won't work. :(

After looking up the tech specs I built and priced, it turns out it's 
PCIe 1x (16x seems to be the standard for just about any decent video 
card) The next series up does have 16x (32x, I believe, actually), but 
the price is closer to 1000.  Still not a bad deal, but it means I'll be 
holding off for a while before I put down the cash on that one.

In the meantime, I found a nice AGP card that will probably boost gaming 
performance nicely using the Radeon 3850 chipset.
