Yes, it's backwards compatible.
Oh by the way, At the moment my pc has integrated graphics, I wanted to know if its true that after you plug in a new pci card your integrated graphics card would automatically disable itself. Â
So you're saying that if I play a hardcore game at full quality one screen would have a perfectly fine FPS and the other one with the old card would lag lag like shinyfoo.

That depends on the game, the programs you have open, and whatever you have on the second screen. I usually have a game all the way on high settings on my left monitor and my aim buddy list, irc, music player, and etc on the right. No lag / slowness. But that might be because my video card has two ports. I'd imagine two separate cards would have even less a chance of lag / slowness.
I'm not sure but do different graphics card have different monitor ports? Because when I looked at the pictures more closely the ports seems to look a lot from my one at home.
Okay, luckily I bought a new tower case last year that came with a 350 Watt PSU. Running that card with a lack of 50 watts isn't that much of a problem I think. Besides, my HDD and Fans are running on power save mode which would save me some extra power for the card.
I just discovered that my pc is running at 250 watts.

JupiterShadow, from that pic I can't see anything that says 250. In fact, on the upper right corner, I see P4-400W.I wonder what that might mean...
