So if this is a slimline pc you are kind of limited in upgrade options
space being the biggest , then being followed with cooling ability, the best advice I can give you if specs say 350 is needed i wouldn't chance having the card pull more of a load off of the PSU than what is rated for it. Hope this helps

Does a 1gb nvidia 9500gt work on a dell dimension 2400

The big question is whether the 2400 has a PCI Express slot. It does not. The 9500GT is a PCI Express 2.0 x16 card

Ge force 9500gt, 512mb, ddr2 compatible with asus a7n8x deluxe

The ASUS A7N8X only supports AGP8X, the 9500GT is PCI Express. There is no way the 9500GT will work with this board.

I wanna know that is XFX 9800gt supported on intel DG31PR motherboard or any PCI express motherboard ? I also wanna know that is it a good combination of 9800gt DDR3 1gb and DDR2 RAM 2gb?? Please reply me...

nVidea 9800gt is a good card... probably not a question of if the MB will support it as much as if your power supply will. It needs a secondary 6 pin power connection.

Any MB with 16x PCI slow will run the board. The different RAM types on the MB and Video card will nto matter as much as the throughput of the PCI bus...

2GB ram on you main board, hope you are not running anything serious.... I do a fair amount of video with a 9500GT. Quad Core 2.66, 6 GB ram and am looking to upgrade to an I7 with 12GB and a nVidia 250 or better....

Keep in mind that XFX makes pretty bleeding edge stuff for gamers, and with that technology comes a few problems with compatibility or drivers. That card should work fine with any PCI Express slot Ver 2.0 or above.
DDR3 will always handle data better faster and cleaner than DDR2 IF your board is designed for it, not just compatible with it. I f the DDR you mention is on the Video card then you need to consider the games you play first. DDR2 at 2gig will for instance load graphics heavy scenes better than DDR3 at half the memory on a MMORPG, but the DDR3 board will do a pretty good job as well with faster rendering when turning for instance. The 2 boards will be quite similar in most cases except when in a party battling multiple foes and handling special lighting effects, then you may notice some minor shading effects with the 1gig board. For more insight into this tradeoff of performance and ram try Tom's Hardware Guide and look at his review on the 9800 series.

PNY GeForce 9500GT 512MB DDR2 PCIE 2.0 blank screen after install

Is the PCI Express Slot a 2.0 x16? that could be the issue not positive those cards will work without that specific slot Also check on the graphics card for a 6Pin plug usually they wont work well with out it hooked up to the power supply the plug should say PCI-Epress 1 or 2 good luck!

Graphics card compatibility with mother board

All PCI-E Graphic card can be used on your motherboard. I suggest nvidia 9500gt 1GB DDR2 128bit because of your power supply. nvidia 9600 & higher models has min. requirement of 400W. if you need higher graphic card model, you need to upgrade your power supply.
