    It will work, but not to it's full potential as it's a PCI Express 1.0 or 1.1 slot and not the 2.0 the card requires to work to it's full potential.

    okay thanks
    Is there a lot of difference in performance between PCI 1.0 and PCI 2.0?

    PCI-E 2.0 has twice the bandwidth of PCI-E 1.x but that card won't need anything like that.
    PCI-E 2.0 also has the ability to supply more power through the PCI-E slot.
