Hello,

I have a Gateway GT5026E and I was wondering if this graphics card:
EVGA GeForce 9500 GT
would fit in it. I looked around on google a little bit and couldn't find any motherboard specs. I'm worried that the PCI-e slot might not be x16. Is there anyway to find out?

Thanks in advance.
 
Your gateway does have a PCI-E x16 slot for that card. Here is the information page from Gateway:D

The only thing that I see will be a problem is the power supply that is in your Gateway computer. It says in the Gateway spec sheet that your computer has a 300w power supply.:( The eVGA 9500GT needs a minimum of a 350w power supply that produces 18 amps. Here is the product sheet from eVGA:

You will have to upgrade the power supply also if you want that card to work...sorry. With that low of a power supply...your options are very low if any:(
