Your HP m8120n has a powerful Core2 Duo paired with an ANEMIC 7350LE graphics card on the x16 PCIe slot. That slot is compatible with the Geforce 8800 series. Issues could be:
1. Space on the motherboard - 8800 is huge and would cover the space of an adjacent slot. Be sure it is vacant. One end of the card sometimes interfere with tall Southbridge heatsinks.
2. Power supply - depending on exact variant, the card could draw from 9 to 12 amperes on the +12V rail. Your existing 7350LE may just be drawing less than 3 amps. You may have to upgrade to a power supply with dual +12V rails (25-30 amps total).
