Been looking at this card, just want to know a few things. It says PNY, is that like a sub-category of Nvidia? I dont understand it! Also will I need to plug in a power cable or will this card get the power from the PCI-E slot itself. And any other thoughts on the card are helpful!

Thanks, Ben.

PNY are a company who manufacture the cards, like mine is XFX, and others are like BFG and EVGA, you will need a 6 pin molex PCI-E power cord, which should be included with the card if it requires it.

No he won't,

the 9400GT isn't powerful enough to require the extra power connector (same with any of the 9500's).

if it requires it ^^^^

First off, if you plan to do anything graphically intensive, then don't buy that card. It's a terrible card.
