	The graphics card you listed uses PCI express as the interface standard. The piece of the puzzle we are missing in order to answer you question properly is the motherboard model number. If we had that we could tell you if it were using PCI express or AGP as a video card interface standard. This image identifies the both PCI and AGP connections (both in yellow / orange in the picture). You could use this image to visually inspect your motherboard and determine its video interface standard. For the record, both AGP and PCI are backwards compatible. Obviously if you motherboard has an AGP interface (my guess due to dated hardware), the card you are inquiring about will not work. Hope this helps

	Any modern Asus motherboard will accept any modern Gigabyte video card, also any modern Gigabyte motherboard will accept an Asus video card. Currently PCI Express 16x is the standard for video cards, Nvidia and AMD both make chipsets for these cards for this standard, multiple companies make the video cards with these chipsets. As long as your MB is PCIx and your video card is PCIx, you are fine, the older standard is AGP 8x, there were very few MB's made with AGP 8x and PCIx. From your post I can tell you the video card is PCIx, but I don't have your MB info, being a Sempron 3000+ board, it could be either, an AGP or PCIx board. One will not fit in the other, if the card fits, you are good, if not, your answer is no. __________________ How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life. --CAPTAIN KIRK, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
