video cards

[Brian L Hayes]

I want to upgrade the AGP video card, Radeon, so do I
uninstall the old one from the system, shut down, and then
pull it? or
just power it down and swap the card out?
I do not want to go through the RC to fix a video
driver problem on start up.

Thank you,
Brian

Plug and play should sort itself out for you however to be on the
safe side when I changed mine I ...

.... removed the old card
.... installed the new one
..... started in safe mode and removed any and all software for
the old card
.... rebooted as normal and let the system detect the new
hardware etc
