How is that possible..? Most fast cards have equal to or greater to memory than the slower counterparts. Weird comparison.

no, u gt it wrong. he means a fast card for example 9600GT 512Mb GDDR3 vs slower counter part 9500GT 1Gb DDR2. obviously the 9600GT wil be better even with half the amount of memory as the 9500GT.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

300W? only? well if you wish to game on 18.5" u can get a card of strength HD4670 512Mb. Also try change your SMPS. 300W is just too low. get a PSU with the remaining money. You can get the HD5670 512Mb also but still u need to change ur PSU. get something of the kind of Zebronics Pro 350W minimum but still get a better 1.

How much will it cost me the HD4670 512 MB and a gud PSU?
Does the HD4670 be needing an additional power supply.. or it can draw all form the PCI Express card slot?
THanks very much?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Your Processor/mobo is too old. Even if you add a New Gen Gfx card, There will be bottleneck due to your CPU/mobo, and your system won't be able to fetch the performance from the Gfx card.
For AGP 8X card go for Sapphire ATI Radeon HD4670 1GB DDR2 @ 5.1k. It is a DirectX 10.1 card and will play most of the games in decent resolution. I think your PSU will be ok to drive this card.
But I strongly recommend you to update your Processor/Mobo combo.

u should get HD4670 512Mb for around 4.2-4.5k. still if budget allows try get the HD 5670 512Mb. Though it'll cost you 1k more but its future proof as it supports DX11 & also performance is worth the price. Also as the stock of old 4 series ATI cards comes down prices are bound to increase.

& for PSU, check if you can get ur hands on Gigabyte Superb 460W @ 2.2-2.3k. else minimum is VIP 400W or Zebronics 350W Pro.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Make sure you have installed the latest drivers. Remove the old drivers by using Nvidia Driver removal tool and install new one. Also this problem may be from ur PSU. Let us know what SMPS u r using..like the brand name, Wattage etc.

No, 9400GT won't play latest games.
To answer that question we need to know a few more details:
1. Processor model.
2. Power Supply(make and model).

Now you can't put another graphics card in as that mobo has only one PCIe X16 slot, even if you could it won't matter as 9400GT does not support SLI(multi GPU in nVidia terms), so you need a good GPU to play latest games.

I suggest PowerColour HD4870 512MB GDDR5 @ 8k or Palit HD4850 512MB GDDR3 @ 6.8k but you need a good PSU to power it, also if you have a inferior CPU the card will be bottlenecked or held back.

The HD4870 can play all latest games maxed out but it does not support DX11(true DX11 games will arrive from late 2010 or 2011), so if you need a future proof GPU I suggest you get PowerColour PCS HD5750 1GB GDDR5 @ 8.5k, this performs a bit slower that HD4870 but can play DX11 titles.

Then you problem is probably from the PSU. These kind of generic PSUs are not good for powering a standard Gfx card. Probably ur 9500 Gt is the GDDR3 version and hence requires more power. Go for at least VIP Gold 500W @ 2.2 k or Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W @ 2.2k
