The best list of specs I found are here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/eMachines-EL1852G-52w-Pentium-Dual-Core-3-2GHz-3GB-1TB-DVDRW-Desktop-PC-Computer-/400260211132?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item5d315e21bc
If these are correct then any PCI-Express card will work.
The issue is that all reviews state that this machine is generally slow due to an older processor. So the video may work great but the CPU may not be able to keep up.
