Hi,

You didn't say what motherboard you are using and if it
supports AGP 8 which is what I believe that new card is.
Also there can be a voltage issue. Some Graphics cards
are 3.3 volt, some are 1.5 volt and your motherboard may
only accept one of those voltages.

He said it was an ECS P4S5A. The gforce 4 is a PCI card.
It should work if it is any good.
