New concern, AGP vid card

I'm currently putting together parts for my own new rig, but at the same time, I am going to be upgrading my mom's for her. She doesn't do much on hers but she likes it to run fast,etc. So I said, well, what the heck, I'll give her the same processor and mobo as me. Today I was reviewing the mobo specs again and I am having a sneaking suspicion, I wont be able to stick her old Vid card in there. I am going with the Biostar TForce 965PT, and she has a GeForce FX 5900 vid card. She doesnt want or need to upgrade it (actually, it IS an upgrade, the 5900 is my old card I am giving her to replace her seriously pos), so am I stuck trying to find a different mobo with an AGP hookup? Any advice is appreciated, the processor will be an e6420.

Oh also, she isn't getting a new HDD - its an IDE. Not gonna work either is it?
 
And no, you will have to format your hard drive and re-install windows. You cant take one hard drive and bring it to another mobo.
 
Ok now for the second problem on top of those then, lol. I was going to put DDR2 800 RAM into her board - but that one looks like it only supports DDR RAM. I do appreciate the help, just trying to figure out all my options 🙂

eta: I know I have to format it - I was worried about the IDE 🙂
