The process is simple, if you know what you are doing. Are you comfortable with opening up your PC (physically opening up the computer), and removing/adding parts? That's what you have to do.
You'll need to figure out what graphics card you can get in the first place. Read up about video cards and see what factors are used for selection. If you have an older graphics card, you might have to use an AGP card, and so on. Also check what graphics chipsets are supported by your motherboard.
Once you have the constraints, you can easily choose from available cards on the market. Then once you order it, it's a matter of swapping the new card with the old.

No it's not difficult. I don't know what type of slots you have in your old computer for graphics cards, so when you buy one, buy one that says it fits a PCI slot. The cards start at $50, and sky rocket up, your choice, read the box before you buy to make sure it does what you want. Here is the process:But here is what you do, install the new card, and run the set up CD, Windows will probably detect it automatically, and tell the hardware manager to look at the CD for drivers when you get that far. Part two. Once it is all done, click on Start, then Right click on My Computer, and choose Properties from the pop out menu. A block called System Properties will appear, choose the Hardware Tab, then Device Manager. Under Display Adapters, you will see the old and new video card. Right click on the old video card and choose Disable. Turn off the computer, hook your monitor to the new card, start the computer, and enjoy. Cheers

No not at all. But depending on how old your system is the card you would need may not be compatible with your system board.
