Oh...don't get Dom started on graphics cards...he has the worst luck with them...yet he can't be bothered to fork out £60 or £70 to buy a proper up to date one and have it installed.
Step 1: Take screws out of back of case and take case off.
Step 2: Plug card into AGP or PCI slot. It won't fit in the wrong slot, so don't worry about that.
Step 3: Put case back on.
Step 4: Turn on your computer.*
Step 5: Install drivers from the CD that came with the video card.
*If you're running on-board video currently, and you put in an AGP video card, you have to go into bios and tell it you're going to be using an AGP card. It's not too difficult--just another step you can't forget about.

And anyway, it's never that simple. We formatted our computer on Staurday and reinstalled everything on Sunday. On Monday we tried installing the graphics card. Now the good thing about ME is that it worked. The bad thing about XP is that it didn't. We ended up having to go into safe mode to install the drivers and disable the on board.
You neevr have those type of problems in ME, but when you move to a supposedly better OS then they start to happen.
