It is just not worth it. You will be limiting yourself to any future upgrades on the video end, and you will hate yourself later.
Just buy a new PCI-E motherboard and wait until you have enough to buy a video card to go in it.
I am running a AGP card myself (ATI2600) and I wish I had just gone the little extra it would have cost to upgrade to a new motherboard.
You can always sell that video card on Ebay or something.

Point taken. I'm not an avid gamer nor is there anything I do that I can't accomplish even with on board video. I don't want to spend massive amounts of money on upgrading my PC when all I do is surf the web and use it for HD movies. That's why I want to use components I already have. I'm not trying to run the latest 3D games at max resolution. The video card is my least concern. Besides the MB I selected has a PCI-E slot and AGP slot. The only thing left I need help with is making sure everything is compatible.
