Get the case apart and unplug the old one and plug the new one in! LOL They usually plug in to an AGP slot or a PCI slot. You may have cable from your CD drive going to your old one. the new ones don't appear to need those. I just unplugged my old Radeon from the AGP and plugged the new one in. There is a retaining screw on the top of the card. If you can't get the case open - just under the front there is sometimes a plastic clip you pull and the front comes off. Then a couple of screws to take out and slide the side of the case off. But they all come apart differently. Just remember how to put it back together! LOL

to install a video card is very staight foward, first install the drivers for it which may have some on a CD with it or go online and search for them. AFter that, shut off and unplug your computer and open it up. THen put the card in the correct slot.
THis will either be PCI, AGP, or PCI-E. a PCI port is tan and an AGP port will be green with a clip at the end. a PCI-e port is tan, larger than a PCI port and has a clip at the end.
