FYI: It is a GeForce 9400 GT

If your mobo supports PCI-E 2.0 then it will work. Get the CPU-Z to get the graphics interface of your mobo:
Mainboard -> Graphics interface.

Edit: We need a big sign that says

Memory type for your RAM is irrelevant to the memory type on the GFX board.

Probably not compatible

Your motherboard probably has AGP, or only PCI. I would build, or buy a new computer.

We need to know your motherboard... it doesn't go inside your CPU.

I don't know what kind of slot my motherboard has, and I even don't know what type of motherboard I have, the only information I have now is from my old video card hardware installation:

Step 2:
Locate the AGP/PCI-E one x16 lane graphic slot in the motherboard, then remove the metal bracket from where the AGP/PCI-E one x16 lane graphic slot os located.

so I believe that my motherboard has an AGP/PCI-E one x16 lane graphic slot, looks like its not compatible, where can I find a list of video cards that supports AGP/PCI-E?

I am completely copying and pasting what I said 5 posts back:

Get the CPU-Z to get the graphics interface of your mobo:
Mainboard -> Graphics interface.

But people simply don't listen.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
