PCI 2.0 motherboards are backwards compatible with older gfx cards, but not the other way around I think.
My reccomendation is the gt 240
I am in a bind. The card I was going to get got discontinued ;[
Now I'm deciding whether or not to get a 4890 or a 5770. Seems like its really a case of power vs technology (5770s have DX11). As I said before, all it needs to do is be able to run 2 monitors and outperform my current 8800gt. I do however probably prefer the 4890s, as I don't really care about DX11.

So far i'm eyeing this one for 5770s: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121355&cm_re=hd_5770-_-14-121-355-_-Product

I say go with the HD4890. You don't care about DX11, there are only two games I know of slated to support DX11 (and even then they probably won't be using even 25% of the advantages it brings), and the 4890 is marginally more powerful. Also, that 128-bit bus on the HD5770 is going to murder your frame rates at higher resolutions.
