can Nvidia GeForce 9400GT handle on my comp??

i'll take a picture of my comp inside and let u see.

other people told me buy cos it say at least i can play some games and its cheap. around SGD$50-70

i have 3 white slots. and 1 kinda orange or brown. is it that PCI-E x16??

Whats your motherboard? Usually P4's will have a AGP slot unless you have the Biostar P4M900-M4, lol.

Use CPU-Z, it should tell you what motherboard you have. Also Everest should say.

Is your computer a OEM like a Dell or HP?

Like already said above 9400GT is nowhere near a gaming card,

Thats an estranged site your using to transfer pics. Use photobucket, copy and paste the links here...

Son what kind of photo website is that?

That's an AGP port btw. That card won't work.

These will;

Here's a handy chart so you can figure out how good those cards are;

so the newegg website graphic cards work on my comp?? install it at the brown slot?? and remove the green graphic card at the white slot??

does that graphic card in newegg sell in singapore??

I think the fastest agp video card is the ATI 3650.

It's not true. There are agp versions of both the HD3850 and HD4670. Those would be wasted on a Pentium 4 however and the HD3650 would be a more appropriate choice for this guy.

I believe you do not actually have a graphics card at the moment and are using the integrated graphics built into your motherboard. You can be sure by looking to check if the monitor is plugged into that "green card in the white slot." If it's not then that's not a graphics card, it's something else like a sound or network card and should be left in your computer.
I don't believe Newegg ships overseas so you'll have to find some place that sells to your area.

If your motherboard allows it I believe the BIOS setting should be something like removable device/drive.

Your motherboard has basic built-in graphics that is acceptable for standard computer use but (in your case) almost entirely useless for gaming.
If your motherboard doesn't let you boot from a removable/usb device then you just can't use that drive to load an operating system. If that's specifically why you bought it then yeah you wasted your money I guess and should have bought an internal dvd drive. It should function fine for normal use however, just not loading an OS.

Have you checked in the BIOS? It might not be an issue.
If it doesn't let you boot off of a removable drive then perhaps you could borrow an internal one from someone else? If you only need to install windows then it should just take a few hours. You don't even need to install it properly in a bay. Just open the side of the computer and connect the IDE cable and power.
I know there are also IDE to USB converters but you'd have to find a place there that sells them.

I'm saying you don't need to put it into the case of the computer itself if you borrow one from a friend. Just open your computer, connect the two cables it needs to function, install windows then detach it and give it back.
Once windows is installed your external drive should work fine.

its got two cables, power and either sata or ide. you just pull them out. the only issue will be if its a sata drive and your motherboard is too old to use sata devices. P4 was popular around when the standard changed.

jyjjy, my when i boot my comp. chkdsk works. but it said my drive is "raw drive" cannot autochk.

what does it mean??

i don't know. but when i google it. most of them can't enter their C: drive(for me is C

is it the chkdsk is raw??
