emachines t5234

and amd athalon processor and 1gb of ram/|||PCI Express x16 is the interface of the motherboard. Yes, that will work with an adequate power supply.



Your motherboard has a chip built into the motherboard for graphics, NVIDIA® GeForce® 6150SE integrated graphics, but it also has a PCI-Express® (PCI-E x16) slot available for upgrade.



9600GT models

Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply

(minimum +12 Volt current rating of 26 amps)

An available 6 pin PCI-E power connector

Read the label and you see it has two 18 amp +12v rails which exceeds the minimum requirements to run the card.

Your PC motherboard has a PCI express x-16 slot, so it is compatible with your card. The only thing i would be concerned about is your power supply. You should make sure you have atleast a 400 watt power supply in order to support that card.
