With the factory power supply, I have the EVGA GTX 650 installed in my system. Be sure to plug-in the 6 pin cable from the power supply to the video card.

I would see if you can find a GeForce 9400 gt pci 2.0 grafics card. This one works very well. I think ddr3 won't work for that older machine. You need ddr2.

I am able to play everything I have on high settings with the installed card. I think there is an extra power supply for those cards that need it, but you would have to check the other motherboard specs to make sure it would be compatible.

Gonna be straight, that motherboard and processor is super old and will restrict any form of gaming. An addition of a modern motherboard would not help it much at all. At this point in time, I'd just save up more money and build your own computer. (I didn't check thoroughly if it would fit or not.)

If you buy a external RAM card or go here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259184 you probably can. 8gb is the max for gaming anyways, so don't really seems you need more (at least if you are going to use this PC for gaming).

This system is compatible with some games, you may need to add a faster graphics card for a better experience. This system is NOT recommended for high-end games.

There is enough horsepower to play games and you can add RAM to it make it run even smoother. Short answere is Yes, you can.

Your computer should be plenty powerful enough to run it, especially once you upgrade the RAM. You may want to double check elsewhere, however. This GPU works as a low power gaming GPU and work GPU for me. I am upgrading but it will work well with your specs.

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

Your Phenom 9650 cpu is one the support list, you can use your ddr2 ram, it has pci-e 2.0 slots for your video card. You can use the rest of your components like your power supply and dvd drive. I would suggest you buy a new hard drive and new operating system though like windows 7 or windows 8. I could not use my old windows vista hard drives because I couldn't get it to boot. So I got a new hard drive and windows 7 operating system.

If you are replacing the 8400 GS with this card, then yes, it will work. If you are trying to run this in SLI with the 8400 GS, then no, it will not work. This card doesn't have any SLI capabilities, anyway.If you are running this card with the 8400 GS but NOT using SLI, then yes, it will work. And this is done sometimes. Some people will get an odd card and use it as what's called a PPU: PhysX Processing Unit. This would be a good use for a setup like this.

Hi Thank you for your interest. It's compatible but it's not enough to run high graphic games. We recommend above GTX650 / 750. Thank you.

Is your board compatible with ddr3 ram? And if so it will work. You may need to do some tweaking to get the full 2.4 GHz of speed. Some CPU's and boards don't support that high of speed.

Faster than what?You should be able to play without a problem. It depends on your graphics card though. I overclocked mine without any issues too. It is an old processor now. Hard to find motherboards for it.

DDR3 memory referes to the memory sticks you can install and is unrelated to your video card. Video cards are compatible with pretty much any motherboard.

I'm not a gamer so I couldn't say. Sorry. I think another review commented about upgrading the memory to use it for gaming.

Yes, it works perfect for gaming. I have this pc with 8 GB of Memory and it run games perfect...Joe
