Install a video graphic card
First of all you need to determine which type of video card you need for your desktop PC. There are two types of video cards, depending on the slot: AGP and PCI Express. Under any circumstances a AGP video card will never fit into a PCI Express slot and vice-versa. After you correctly determined which type of video card you need and bought it, you are ready to mount it. For this video we used an XFX 250 GTS video graphic card on a Asus P5Q motherboard.Video card install
- Remove the cover of the chassis if it’s not already.
- Pick the video card, place it over the PCI Express slot and notice the metal plate(s) that cover the back panel.
- Put aside the video card and remove those metal plate(s). Usually there’s just one plate to remove, but for bigger and better video cards there’s two plates.
- Pick the video card again and gently, but firmly insert it into the slot.
- Screw the video card into it’s place on the back panel. Again, most of the times there’s just one screw, but for bigger video cards there are two screws needed.
- You’re done!
