iirc, green = front channels, yellow = rear channels, black = center/subwoofer.
assuming his receiver has the inputs... it should work
(not as good as a digital output, but still ok )

good excuse to upgrade your MB. you can get a cheap MB that will be better than what that has. That looks like a 3-5 year old dell. you can probably a one from newegg or tiger that will have spdif for just a little more than a sound card.
what proc do you have? if its an LGA you can get something like this:
