Default Would this graphics card work with my motherboard?
Morning... The trouble is, I want to buy this graphics card:

PNY B-G88500GN1E25YPB-G at PC World - Buy cheap nVidia Graphics Cards - PNY B-G88500GN1E25YPB-G GEFORCE 8500 GT 256MB PCI-E GRAPHICS CARD

But I'm not sure that it would work with my motherboard:

MSI Computer Corp. - Product

The graphics card is "PCI-E"? Does that matter? Would it still fit and work?

Thanks in advance!

no, your motherboard only supports AGP, to use PCIe i think you need to upgrade your motherboard, sorry to be the bearer of bad news
