The T180 use a modified Foxconn MCP61SM2MA that has 1 x PCIe x16 that uses a x8 signal and supports AMD Sempron™, Athlon™ 64, Athlon™ 64x2 processors.

So yes the GTX260 will fit but due to x8, not at its full potential and especially if you have a Sempron processor.

Download and run CPU-Z and give use more information.

Also we will need to know the size of ur PSU Power supply unit.

if u puut a 260 GTX in it may draw too much power and not start or damage ur system.

so basically, u may want summit less powerful, say maybey a 240GT which i think has jus come out
