my brother told me that installing video cards yourself is simple and after watching some online videos i believe him but my question is in all the videos it shows where they are installing the new cards on the PCI-e but not where the old ones are. i opened up my case and found where the new card should go but the one im currently using isn't there is it Integrated in the computer someway if its the one it came with? its a 82945g express chip set family do i have to remove it some other way and how?|||No, you don't need to remove it, and you can't anyway.
Chipsets aren't graphics cards, they're just simply microchips stuck directly into the motherboard.
Just plug your graphics card into the right slot and you'll be good to go.|||Make sure your Computer is unplugged, push your card into the slot until it is seated fully. Tighten Screw holding Card in place. Some cards require a power plug from your power supply, some do not.
After start up your computer will see that a card has been installed. often you need to install or download a Video card driver for the card. If your using Vista it may look for the driver automatically, or you may have to go into windows update and it will offer it to you. If you are using XP you may need to look for the latest driver. ATi cards can be found at ati.amd.com, look under Drivers, follow directions and download the Catalyst Suite.|||Since your current graphics card is a part of the motherboard you don't have to do anything. Just plug in the new card, plug your monitor into the card, then you are good to go. Your computer should automatically recognize and use the new graphics card.|||All you have to do is plug it in. Then there should be a couple options on the screen when you start it up.|||That is integrated, there is nothing to remove, just put the video card in and enjoy it..
