really oh dearhow do you want to compare them? The 9600 will perform better, the 9400GT will be quieter and use less power. Also presumably the 9400 is cheaper
its' an 9600 ATi card

I think Alex was thinking Nvidia 9600...really oh dear
No offense, but that's what I thought too when reading the 1st post lol
Phew just play the occasional game nothing special. my card is quite old so I thought a new should be more powerful.haha oh dear, sorryyea was thinking NVidia 9600. Well, the 9400GT will have a better featureset and should perform better than ATi's 9600, also it'll be quieter.
What are you intending to use it for?
what drivers do I need and where can I download them ? www.nvidia.com seems like a good idea lol
Whilst you're right in most cases, the 9400GT is a dire card. For the same price as a 9400GT you could bag a second hand x1950pro, possibly even a 2900XT.
If you have a specific budget, we'll be able to find you a much better card than the *spit* 9400GT
£36 too probably too much.Perhaps I'll return it. I want a passively cooled one that is compatible with my current cheapo mobo be compatible with my motherboard ?

Will this work with my mobo http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-194-SP&tool=3
Yes, it will.
How peculiar that your mobo has AGP and PCI-e
*edit*
All though it will work with your mobo, it's a fairly highly priced card for what it is.. considering the 4850 is only a few pounds more at the moment

I reckon the 9400GT is over 5 times faster than the radeon 9600.
However, the 9400GT is not an ideal card - what is your budget?
Also, what is your planned usage and make/model of your power supply?

If it's 5 times faster I'm not bothered my psu is a passive Silverstone 300 Watt one
very expensive too 
and I've broken some of the power connects.
