i have already ordered it online, together with two 2GB ddr2 ram cards to make it a 4GB ram.



-how do i replace it?



-will the new one cancel the old one?



-will i need to open new slots on the back so the monitor and other connections would be visible through the back?



- and is this even the right card for me?(if not then i guess i messed up since i have already ordered it : (|||your links aren't inserted properly, but i;ll try anyway.

if the motherboard has integrated graphics, the bios should have a selection which allows you to decide first display. set it to the slot you're going to use.

as for ram, the ram slots should be pretty obvious when you open the case.

be sure to unplug it, not just turn it off.

then when you restart, windows will ask for th edrivers. you can either install them from the disk utitlity which comes w/ the card, or have window search itself and online for a compatible driver.|||new graphics cards usually go into a pci kind of slot, just plug ur monitor into the new graphics card and the integrated 1 will b disabled.|||The links doesn't work



1. You would have to put the video card in to a PCI-E slot located in your computer on the mother board.

There's usually a slot for it



2. The new one will cancel out the old one because fo the drivers you would install that comes with the video card.



3. There will be a metal piece that will have to be unscrewed to make space for the video card.



4. Depends on what do you want to do with the card

If you were to play games on that video card it would do not as well but do the basics

Other uses it would be good



DSK|||Make sure your PC has a PCI-Express slot.



You first need to disable your onboard video in your computers BIOS.



Unplug your PC



Wear an antistatic strap like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002QK… to prevent static electricity from damaging your video card.





Open up your PC case, Remove the metal plate at the back of your pc's pci-express slot and insert the card into the PCI-Express slot carefully.





Plug your PC back in, and turn it on.



Wait for your PC to boot to Windows, and install your video card driver.
