That should work. The board is PCI as is the video card. What's funny is,
that's almost the identical system I configured in a wishlist yesterday when
I read that VDPAU had made it into trunk, only my system had 1GB of ram and
not 2. :-) From the looks of that case it appears it will handle a full
height card which was the last question mark on my list.
