This is what I got from the Nvidia web site:
All NVIDIA Quadro FX solutions feature the industry's only true 128-bit floating point precision graphics pipeline.http://www.nvidia.com/page/qfx_el.html
Looks like you will have to get the Quadro 540 since you have a PCIE slot not a AGP. Hope you realize these graphics cards are for use with CAD programs and not meant for games.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, I buy Quadro card for 3D program, not for game. I also thought I need to buy 540, PCI Express. But are you not sure, aren't you?
Can anyone confirm again before I purchase it?

As far as I know the 8400 has a PCIExpress slot. Don't know how much more sure I can be, unless I open up your system.
