I'm wondering what a slot on a Dell E210822 motherboard in a Gateway GT5428 PC is. The slot in question is just below the bottom PCI slot. It looks generally like a PCI slot, but is much shorter and is colored black. If you can find one, I wouldn't mind a manual for the motherboard.
I believe that is a pci express slot (x1)
Here is the manual for your motherboard:

I'm wondering why you're indicating a Dell E210882 motherboard in a Gateway GT5428?
The Gateway GT5428 Desktop PC comes with an Intel (Coryville) 945G motherboard,

Click on Components in the list. Then under the heading - Motherboards - click on 4006158R - Intel (Coryville) 945G Motherboard
Yes, the small black slot under the two long White PCI slots, is a PCI-Express x1 slot.
Click on Product Views, then on, L - PCI Express x1 Connector.
No such animal on a Dell E210882 motherboard,

The Gateway GT5428 motherboard uses an Intel 945G motherboard chipset, not an Intel 845GV as stated.
(Intel D845GVSR motherboard uses an Intel 82845GV Northbridge chip, and an Intel 82801DB Southbridge chip)

B-I-G difference in what the two motherboard chipsets will support.
This must have been back when you could self rate, and we Moderators did not catch it.

Oh. Oops. I must've had other things on my mind when I typed this. I was having trouble with a Dell, too.
Thanks for the help.
