nope, return it to the store, u gonna need to find the slot ur comp has then work from there
(ex. PCI, PCI Express, or AGP)
or get a new motherboard

Sorry, there is no other way but to return the card and have it replaced w/ the right one (8x AGP perhaps).
The alternative is expensive. Upgrade to a motherboard w/ x16 PCIe graphics slot.
