One other precaution to take before you start fiddling in there is to turn your pc off with the switch at the back then hold in for five seconds the button on the front that you use to turn the pc on. This should save you from getting any nasty shocks.

Hi,

I strongly advise you have someone sighted who has done this before.

Basically you need to take the side off the case (or the top depending on the case type), take the backing plate out of one of the PCI card slots, and fit the card into the slot which you should feel on the motherboard - these are several grooves, and the card will show through the front of the whole you made with taking the backing plate off. The card will need pushing firmly down into the socket, then you screw it in place.

Be careful to take the usual anti-static precautions - i.e, touching the case or another metal object before putting your hand in there.

Basically i would advise a computer shop do it for you.

Andrew.
