Dude its a 512 meg GForce 9 series. It can run pretty much any game on the market, at full spec id say.
You are so wrong. It's worse than 8600.
When it comes to gaming, look at the second number first. Then at the generation.
9400 is basically an upgraded 8400. I mean, if anyone have bought those cards...
Pay $30 more and get a WORKING card. Not a pile of puke you'll regret buying.
8800 GTS, 9500 or 8600 are good cards and don't cost much.
The card can run any game. Hell im running a seven series and can play anything on the market. This guy is just a PC snob who refuses to have anything but the best and most likely upgrades 6 times a year.
Your attempt at insulting me failed, as I'm using E2160 on my main rig and I'm too cheap to get a new motherboards + a processor better than E2240. I also still use a 32-Bit Windows XP.
Oh, and my last update (not counting graphics card - my GeForce 8500 was a piece of shit that couldn't run Fallout 3 at a decent framerate) was during the last Summer. And before that... It has been 4 years. I've been running on a Athlon 3000+, GeForce 7300 and 512 RAM DDR for 4 years. That's why I've learned to know the difference between a shitty card and a good card.
Try running, for example, Fallout 3 on a high FPS rate on that card. You know why it costs only $16 on Ebay? Because nobody would buy it for more. And even now I'm not sure anyone will.
Oh, you say you run a seven series and can play anything? Try playing Assassin's Creed at 7300 GT. I tried, was horrible.

I'm kind of tight on money. May I ask how it's not a working card?
It's the weakest of not-newest series. 8600 is pretty cheap, so are 9500 and 9600. And are much, much better and almost as good as 8800 GTS and 9800 GT respectively.
If I were you, I'd wait till birthday and ask your parents to sponsor you a bit. I bought my GeForce 9800 GT and I've paid 3/4 of the total price.
You say you want to buy Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3? Don't worry - the first one isn't coming out for about 4-6 months, and Diablo 3 will most likely be in 2010. It's more than sure that D3 WILL be after S2.
You probably won't be able to buy both at the same time. But that's the part of life - how I would like to buy a 630 GB SATA HDD, E2240 (or E6200 + new motherboard), 4 GB RAM AND a good gaming keyboard. But I can have only one of those things, and that's if I save for another month or two.
edit: Oh, just noticed, that card doesn't have a fan. Passive cooling sucks.
