I am planning on getting a new graphics card for my computer, but I am not sure if the graphics card will fit. I am planning on getting a Geforce 9400. The computer model is a Gateway 838GM. My current graphics card is a intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL express chipset family. Any help is appreciated.

It looks like you will be fine installing this particular graphics card. The slot type your computer has is compatible with it. Just make sure before installing it that you have a power supply that has at least 300watts (You check this by looking at the side of the power supply when you open the case). Also, if it does not have a fan on the rear vent, you should add one because an external card like the one you want to add could generate more heat. Enjoy! =)
