Re: Is my graphics card dead?Cheers bud, one thing though, if I buy on in the morning, how would I load it? as no monitor to see what I am doing, or will it work like plug and play?

Re: Is my graphics card dead?
Once the card is installed it should plug and play as the machine bios should try and find the onboard 1st then the new card, there will be a few settings to sort out within windows with screen adjustment etc but once you load in the new drivers off the cd it should all be ok, if you get stuck i can always nip over and sort it for you?

Re: Is my graphics card dead?Try maplin first, they may well have something cheaper than PCworld, not to mention staff that usually know what they're talking about

Re: Is my graphics card dead?I believe this is a layout of your motherboard but double check first.Three PCIOne and a PCI Express x16 graphics slots.
