Stop Confusing him!!! ppl

You have to make sure what type of video card you have AGP or PCI Express and make sure you have a free AGP or PCI Express slot on your motherboard. If you do then do the following.

Shut Down the pc
Unplug your power cord
Open the side of your computer's case
Unscrew your monitor from the back of the video card
Unscrew and remove old video card
Insert new video card(if it's the same type) in the slot

The ATI Radeon X1300 runs on PCI or PCI Express. The PCI slot has a hook on the side (going towards the motherboard) of the slot. Once hooked and connected with power cables and such, just turn on your computer and install the driver provided in a CD.

here's your manual:

Your machine has an empty AGP port that is ready to receive video card update.

Open the case. Remove the card plate from the back of the PC so your video card's ports will poke through. Ensure the card the seated properly.

Turn on the PC and see what happens.

Good luck!

Remember people... He said he has an X1300 PRO! Meaning AGP style of card.
