September 22, 200817 yr Ordered the below 8800GT card today and was wondering what I need to do to make sure I have a clean install and what drivers I should use. I have never replaced a video card but have replaced memory modules so go easy on me. I think I read somewhere that you need to get rid of the other drivers etc.What steps 1 thru ?? do I need to take in order to accomplish this replacement?I currently have:6600 Dual core conroe processor overclocked to 3.16gig4 gig of matched Pc2-800 ramRadeon ATI 1600/1650 graphics card w/512 meg21" gateway widescreen monitor120 gig hitachi hard drivemain processor cooler w/fan PNY VCG88512GXEB-FLB GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - RetailSLI Savings - buy two w/ special savings, ends 9/25 PNY GeForce 8800 GT VCG88512GXEB-FLB Video Card - RetailImage Viewer PNY GeForce 8800 GT VCG88512GXEB-FLB Video Card - Retail PNY GeForce 8800 GT VCG88512GXEB-FLB Video Card - Retail PNY GeForce 8800 GT VCG88512GXEB-FLB Video Card - Retail PNY GeForce 8800 GT VCG88512GXEB-FLB Video Card - Retail $110.99 Free 3 Business Day Shipping (Not available in HI, AK and PR) In Stock Add item to Cart Add item to Wish List Email This Page Print This Page Price AlertRegards,jack
September 23, 200817 yr 1. Before installing the new video card find and download the latest driver at: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us2. Go to Control Panel>System>Device Manager>Display Adapters. Right click the current display adapter, select Properties>Driver tab and select Uninstall.3. Shut down the computer, read instructions for the video card installation (including grounding instructions) and proceed accordingly.4. Turn on the computer and use the downloaded video driver installer rather than letting Windows search for a driver.ArtBiostar TF560-A2+, Athlon 64X2-6000+, 4GB RAM, Geforce 8800GTS-320MB, 500W PSU, 250GB HD, FSX(SP1-SP2), Audigy SE sound, Vista Home Premium 32 bit, CH Yoke & Pedals, 22" WS LCD monitor Art
