Old PCI gfx card in new mobo ?

[Slyman]

Hi, my old rig with agp card has died so need to build a new one. I have enough for all the parts bar gfx card. Will my trusty GF2mx pci work in a new board in the meantime ? I have done this on many agp boards but never on a pci-e one (Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L )
Thanks Simon

As long as the motherboard has a PCI slot that is unused it should work fine although obviously you can't just put it in a PCI-E slot.

Thanks, just wasnt sure if new boards/chipsets cope if the main gfx slot isnt populated. I would hate to have the parts sat in front of me for a month and not be able to use them !
