Is your old video onboard? or a vid card? If it's a video card take cover off of PC, find the slot it's connected to, pull it out a & replace with new video card. You want to uninstall any old video drivers first and then shutdown and replace the card. If it's onboard video you may have to disable that and make sure you have an agp slot to put the new card in.

not sure what your mobo looks like, but on mine, there is a green latch, just pull away from the card and slide it out, but remember, unscrew the card first
