Will this work?

[Woodentop]

I have a Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard and im buying a E8400 to go in it, i think that will work but will i lose any big performance by running the CPU in the older chipset board?

Also i want to get a HD4870 will the PCI 1.0 slot slow the card down?

Thanks for the posts, i think i will scrap the board and get a newer one as i dont have a CPU to upgrade the BIOS.

What is a good all round board these days? I hear good things about the P5Q series.
