The 9500GT is definitely available in PCI, I've found places in the US  
that have them. The 9400 is supposed to be available in PCI as well  
according to wikipedia on the Nvidia 9000 series cards. Sparkle and  
PNY made them. Funny thing is they are legacy ones now but still make  
the 8400GS in PCI and list them as available on their websites. There  
are a few 8400GS on ebay I can get from US (my wifes parents live  
there which makes things easy) and they are less than half the price  
of the couple places I've found that have the 9500GT. So tempted to  
try one of the 8400GS cards other than I've read the 8400GS isn't  
quite as good on HD compared to the 9500GT. The saving isn't worth it  
if I still have some problems with things stuttering etc.

Was hoping to find someone that was or had upgraded to a new  
motherboard got a new GT2xx card to replace their 9500GT. But if they  
aren't that common in NZ as indicated from the earlier post it looks  
like I'll be getting one from the overseas or upgrading the motherboard.
