Answer 2

Installing the card isn't hard, but getting it to work right can be frustratring at times.
The first step is to read the manual. Most video cards come with one, and probably come with an illustrated step-by-step poster, too. This will tell you if you need to install the drivers before or after setting the card, what settings to change, and so on. This is especially important when changing from an on-board video adapter to a video card.
After that, it's a matter of pulling the cord, opening the case, pressing the card firmly into the right slot, closing up, plugging in, and restarting.

From personal experience, reading the manual first takes this from about a 6 difficulty to a 2.5.
