I was wondering how hard it is to install a video and graphics card in a computer? I am looking to buy a new computer and the ones I like don't have a good enough video or sound card. I thought maybe I could save a few bucks by doing it myself or not have to wait forever for a computer place to do it.
I want a Geforce3 video card and Soundblaster 5.1 sound card but most computers come with Geforce2 (32MB) or some other outdated card and integrated sound. It doesn't look that hard to do. It looks like you just slide the old one out and the new one in.
Is it that easy? The boxes say it is.
