All the of the motherboards you are looking at don't have an AGP slot, which is needed for your video card. Most new motherboards only have PCI-E 16x for Video cards. Your two options are to either buy an older motherboard that still has an AGP slot or upgrade your video card to PCI-E 16x and buy one of these newer to the market motherboards that you have listed.

Just swap the card for another one at Best Buy. They're a serious company, aren't they?

I find it hard to believe that your 10 year old computer would run that video card ,i know the p2 166 /i bought 10 years ago wouldn't have ran it .lol

You can still find new agp motherboards ,might have to go to e-bay for one but they are still out there .
