Welcome to the forums.

I don't think it will work as the motherboard is a VIA chipset which seems to not like PCI-E 2.0 cards, it may work though if its flashed with a GEN1 BIOS (the 8800 GT), as i know on the AsRock Dual/VSTA (or whatever its called motherboard) that has the VIA chipset, that the only way to get the 8800 GT to work on those, is by flashing its BIOS with a GEN1.
