And that the new card will fit within the case.

I just put a different video card in my other pc but it won't play some games. The card is (EVGA nVidia GeForce 6200 512MB VGA/DVI/TV-out AGP Video Card.) My power supply is only 250 watt is this why it won't play some games. Thanks
It won't play the Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure demo. Another one will play but the cursor moves real slow. Shadows of the Vatican Act 2: Wrath

My power supply is only 250 watt is this why it won't play some games. Your slow video card is why you're having trouble with those games. In order to add a faster video card, you'll have to add a better power supply with more wattage.

Jenny,would this help,part# 308437-001 spare# 308615-001 series pdp123p S/N-00921908 Richard That's an old style ATX power supply - Connectors: 1 X 20-Pin Motherboard Connector 5 X 4-Pin Molex Connectors 2 x SATA Connectors 1 X 4-Pin Motherboard Connector 2 X 4-Pin Floppy Connectors Almost any standard ATX power supply should fit, but depending on what's wired to the cables you may have problems finding a replacement. How many of the 4 pin Molex connectors are plugged in to devices? Are the Hard drive(s) SATA or PATA? Since it's an older PC I wouldn't spend too much upgrading it - take a look at something like this as a place to start. RAIDMAX RX-450K Continuous 450 watts ATX 12V v2.3/EPS 12V Power Supply Being that it's a Compaq, it's hard to say if it'll be a perfect fit.

A 9400 GT is not a very fast card (it's actually slower than the 7600 GT) http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=435&card2=578However if it's playing games to your satisfaction, it should still work in Windows 7. If you want a faster card, your 475 Watt power supply should be able to support one. Are you going to want another Geforce card or are you OK with a Radeon card?

Looks good, kjos! I assume this is your main computer...what kind of processor does this computer have and how much RAM?
I hope your 7600GT for the old computer arrives today!

Go to DXDIAG. Don't know what your operating system is, but it will probable work if you type it into the search box in Start.
