Video card installation question?

When installing an upgraded video card, is it easy to do, or would it be better to have a professional like geek squad or something do it?|||It's somewhat easy. Here's the basic run through:



When you open your PC, make sure to ground yourself to remove all static electricity so you won't fry your new video card or motherboard.



If you're upgrading an existing card, just remove the old one, and insert the new card in its place.



Boot the PC, install the drivers.|||its pretty easy|||The hardest part is getting one that will work (you have a big enough power supply for and a slot for it to fit in (usually PCI E x16)). Installing it is usually pretty simple.|||Save your money and PC from The GeekSquad, it's simple to do yourself. Just install the new card and the drivers and you are done with the install. uninstall old cards drivers and you done.|||It depends on your computer experience, All you have to do is open up the computer and remove the old one and put in the new one. They only fit in one place, and your new card will only fit where the old one was, so it's pretty hard to screw up. Still, if you're not comfortable with opening your computer and installing software for it, then you should go with a service.|||As long as you correctly know the spec of ya motherboard & it's capacity on installing new hardware, like the video card upgrade then it should be straight forward with no probs.



Research this though on the net - web sites that guide you through upgrades, that's how I've proceeded with all mine.



Good Luck mate.
