    Default How to install a graphics card?

    Hello.

    I am in desperate need of some 101 idiot proof instructions on how to install a Graphics Card.

    I currently have an ATI Radeon x300 SE 128 MB PCI-Express.

    I have just received a Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT 256 MB PCI-Express from Newegg (allow me to use this green balloon [] to endorse Newegg).

    So:

    Please tell me step by step how I am supposed to remove my old graphics card, uninstall its drivers, put in my new graphics card, and install its drivers.

    Thank you very much.

    Edit: I was too impatient to wait for expert counsel so I went ahead, prayed, and installed the card myself following the directions. Went off without a hitch and now I'm playing an ultra smooth M2:TW on highest settings!

    All i was going to say was open up your computer, remove graphics card, replace graphics card, close computer, uninstall all old drivers, and install new drivers.

    Have fun!

    x300 se was a pos wasn't it? I had it until I got an x800 xt.

    Well, the first thing you'll need is a hammer.....oops, nevermind- I see you managed on your own.
