[AlienHook]

"DO NOT LOOSE THE SCREW"

as he loosens the screw.

[ManBearPig259]

@AlienHook i think he meant lose xD

[ClamsCDR]

Yay! Prehistoric XD

[LSDfischbein79]

@sparta139 nice video dude....can you tell me what the anti static bracelet is good for....is it really necessary?

[sparta139]

@LSDfischbein79 It's to ground yourself so you don't shock your internals by static electricity. No it's not necessary. But you have to touch something metal before you touch your internals.

[fitzs96]

So I bought a video card on eBay and it didn't come with a disk, can i still download it on my computer?

[sparta139]

@fitzs96 Yes, Just google the video card drivers.

[Suckbutton]

When I see the number of misspellings and then look down and see "My school project."......I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[sparta139]

@Suckbutton This project was due the next day. So it was a last-minute thing

[Suckbutton]

@sparta139 The misspellings are still scary, but I certainly understand procrastinating until the last minute...with me there was no other way, lol.

[Pizza6767Neil]

Should i do this for minecraft?

[Thebobman5]

mfw I realize 2008 was 4 years ago

[Tombo763]

Overdramatic music lol

[BillClintonn]

I've been using a GEForce 8600 GTS for years now, and haven't felt the need to upgrade until now. I feel like I'm behind now as far as GC knowledge is concerned. What are some of the best cards out there for gaming/HD quality video/ etc.? I don't necessarily want the best -- but maybe in that range just under the 3-4 top cards.

[ThickestCrayon]

Wtf is up with the CoD 4 music?

[sparta139]

@MarouaneOfficial2011 If your graphics card has a 6-pin port in it, you have to have a 6-pin in your power supply. If the graphics cards dosen't have one, then you DON'T have to have the 6-pin in your Power Supply.

[sparta139]

@GeorgeMathewTV To be honest, idk, there are a thousand different ways of why you got the BSOD. Sorry

[kskrishnakanth]

should i uninstall my previous graphic card driver before removing it?

[sparta139]

@kskrishnakanth no, unless your installing a different brand of graphics card.

[PonchMasterFlexx]

INTENSE MUSIC!!! Also, very helpful video.

[TheFinnishGuuy]

I got nVidia 9400 GT and im going to change it to nVidia Palit GTX 550. I got some question: 9400 GT is PCI-e 2.0 and GTX is PCI-e 2.0 x16, is it suitable? And GTX 550 got one 6-pin power connector, but when i look inside my computer and my GT9400, i see only 2 x i think 2-pin connectors, so what should i do? Is it impossible to change? Or too hard for amateaur? Do I need professional help or something? Im not totally noob with computers so if i get it connected, after that i think im good.HELP

[TheFinnishGuuy]

@TheFinnishGuuy @TheFinnishGuuy Oh, motherboard is M4N78 SE and vertaa.fi/emolevyt/asus/m4n78_­se/specs(dot)rhtml this sais it got one PCI-Express?

[TheFinnishGuuy]

@TheFinnishGuuy en(dot)kioskea(dot)net/guide/1­218703-asus-m4n78-se :D This says: PCI-e type - 16x/1x? Could just someone how knows answer my questions... Please! Hurry up! I want new graphics card :)

[lays304]

[bladeofsarrow]

Question, would you recommend backing up my files while doing this?

[sparta139]

@bladeofsarrow Not really, unless you really messed something up.

[ace1cx3]

I think this one is the best :D

[Airickk2021]

Lose*

[dr4aces]

The music is epic!

[TRIVIUM4221]

Hey, I know that the question is retard, but if I put a new Graphics Card Will I have multiple gigabytes to deskop?

[theintunity]

8:02 i saw that you only have 13.5 frames in the game... that is pretty low xD, i have on ultra setting 48 Frames, but i can't say it's your foult, cause this video is three years old and at that time you didn't have such graphics cards as I do... nice video anyway :D I did learn something from you :D

[sparta139]

@theintunity Actually, that picture on 8:02 was not from my computer. I found it on Google. Glad that you liked the video though.

[theintunity]

@sparta139 Lol, If you wanna show your performence of your graphics card , and wanna show uss if it worked or that your computer got better of it, then it is better to start making your own foto's and movies :D

[sparta139]

@theintunity Well, this was a school project. So I really didn't pay attention to those things.

[theintunity]

@sparta139 Ok, i understand :D

[Scat495]

By 'star shaped screw driver' you mean a phillips head. Just so the people who know this kind of stuff don't get confused.

[sparta139]

@Scat495 Ok, I'll make an adjustment. Thanks

[coldf33r]

wtf is up with the CoD music...

[sparta139]

@coldf33r It makes it sound epic

[TheRewjr]

[yahia114]

[janusbaaby]

[mislavrepinac13]

I have a problem.. I changed my graphic card but DXDIAG shows that card isn't in my computer... what should I do?

[dragoons9009]

The quality of this video reminds me of an old porn movie.

[OdysseyCheerBadass]

what does an anti static bracelet do?

[Vrak100]

@OdysseyCheerBadass prevents you from getting killed by your own computer

[4131025]

[TheSlenderman456]

@sakataone23 can you? i want to change my video card and i dont have a anti-static bracelet

[legoman3342]

@TheSlenderman456 Just keep your wrists at the edge of the case while doing it AND make sure the humidity is over 60% to avoid static :) thats what I did to build my computer.

[BurritoLover96]

@sparta139 Please reply ASAP

[BurritoLover96]

@sparta139 I'm going to change my card in a few days since my B-Day is in a few days :D and I'm changing from an ATI Radeon 4850 HD (i think that's what it's called) to an ATI Radeon 6850 HD. My question is, do you still need to install the vid driver from the disc if the cards are from the same brand?

[sparta139]

@BurritoLover96 Yes

[MsDorabelle]

@sparta139 If I upgrade my video card do i need to uninstall the current driver before installing or after installing the new one?

[sparta139]

@MsDorabelle yes

[viperr3997]

Lol @ the anti static braclet!!!!!!! who the hell would use that?

[EliasOnePower]

Iv'e never done this but my friend does, the static braclet looks overkill

[GunzAide]

Allright , now i know he play's COD!

[thegmodmachinima]

i have a question. my good dell keeps crashing on me now and it has a nvidia gtx ....(I forgot Model lol). Now i have to use my old compaq and it has ati radeon xpress 200. can i switch them or is it not do able?

[sparta139]

@thegmodmachinima Just make sure they're both the same slots. Ex: Make sure they're both PCI-E's. 

[MolecularGraph]

I just tap large metal objects every 20 seconds or so on pc builds.

[VideoGamerHD]

Ignore the haters man, they're just mad because they broke there computer xD

[azim09batu]

7 ppl didnt wear an anti-static braclet....-_-

[sTeevYx1]

holy shit its lose not loose!!

[kanske123456]

Can I use which card I want in my computer, or do I need some specific stuff in there too? I know that I have a 500W powersupply because I recently bought a new one.

[DavySigfusson]

if you have the power disconnected your not gonna get hurt, unless your a total sissy...

[sparta139]

@DavySigfusson Who said anything about getting hurt?

[DavySigfusson]

@sparta139

Then, are you afraid of discharging into some crazy sensitive circuits, because I don't understand the point...

[sparta139]

@DavySigfusson If you're talking about the beginning where I turn off the power supply, it's suppose to be a pre-caution. It said so in the instruction manual.

[DavySigfusson]

@sparta139

Fair enough.

[MrComicMischief]

@DavySigfusson Yeah he's a sissy beacuse he doesn't want to get electrocuted.

[Anzeis]

well, your graphics look nice, now make something about the sound

[TheSleepyGene]

Not in High definition you fail school.

[sparta139]

@TheSleepyGene Well. not everyone in 2008 had HD video cameras and I'm sure youtube didn't even support HD videos back then.

[TheSleepyGene]

@sparta139 Im just messing, but usually i only mess with HD vid because their more through and a little bit more professional.

[DRxPEPPERXROX]

nice flatscrean



[vam4TWO]

do i absolutely positively need an anti static wristband?

[sparta139]

@vam4TWO No, just make sure your body is touching a metal part,

[MaRkSmAn914]

@sparta139 Umm, what do you mean touching a metal part? Like, keep one hand on a piece of metal and use one hand to change the card? lol...im kinda not so sure about this xD

[sparta139]

@MaRkSmAn914 Like for example, when you put your hands inside the computer, make sure your elbow or arm is atleast touching something metal on the computer case. Which is easy because most case's interior out there are made of metal. Good Luck.

[MaRkSmAn914]

@sparta139 can't i wear rubber gloves instead?

[sparta139]

@MaRkSmAn914 I don't know, but I guess you can try that

[a1honz]

I vote this vest soundtrack of any ho-to video!! lol

Thanks for the vid and hope you did well on your project!

[iwasapro]

national treasure music ftw?

[laimunwai]

Can i don't install the disc ?

Because i lost my disc .

Please help me...

[sparta139]

@laimunwai No, you need the disc to complete the installation. And if you can't find the disc, look for a downloadable driver on google. Just make sure you know the brand and model of your graphics card.

[laimunwai]

@sparta139 awww, i can't find what model is that...

but i saw there's a sticker with 6200LE 128Mb/64Bit DDR 2...

Is that the model of my old graphic card???

( i wanna give it to my cousin one because his graphic card spoiled )

[sparta139]

@laimunwai That's good, but you need to find the brand. Is it EVGA, ATI, nVidia, or XFX

[laimunwai]

@sparta139 Thank You very much...

I found the driver ....and it's exactly same with the graphic card ...

Nvidia 6200LE : D

So do i need to reinstall my sound's driver ?

[sparta139]

@laimunwai Good, and no you do not need to reinstall your sound driver. No problem :D

[laimunwai]

@sparta139 Thanks again : )

Appreciated : )

May GOD bless you = )

[Hedeyasu2]

6 people turned off their computer and were waiting for the rest of the video

[zachev2kool]

The music is so intense, what will happen next?! :P

[superscaper100]

@sakataone23 no because its not the objects that you touch, its the static electricity

[mrmoo8]

Just touch a radiator! All you need to do is earth any residual charge/static.

[MNiTFTW]

Pretty much after the actual installation of the card the process of installing the driver update etc etc is just follow the instuctions =D

[BloodStone20]

you should rename the video to INTENSE VIDEO CARD INSTALLATION

[johnkuang123]

OMGOMGOMG iam using the same graphic card the Ati 2400Pro!!!

[ObservedFIREFLY]

@sakataone23 not really, cause static can arc between the hairs on your head to the metal across about 15 cm at normal levels, why would you want to anyway? the anti sttic bracelets cost like $5 on ebay

[Ultimatefiren]

Good job.

[adrian910927]

I want to put a 1GB graphic card on my old computer but the RAM isonly 512mb

Is it do the job???

[Sh00tR93]

Alright, here's my situation: I'm looking for a new graphics card for my computer, it uses Intel Extreme Graphics 2, and I wan't to know if I need to replace the card or if I can just put a new one in. #2 I don't know what graphics cards will work with my cpu. #3 I will look at any suggestions for graphics cards, just don't drain my wallet, I'm only willing to spend about 100$ -200$ on it.

[Fadingarts]

do you allways need to wear anti static braclets, even with never computers...if not were could I find one?

[sparta139]

@Fadingarts Yes, because all the components are very sensitive to static electricity. You should find one at any store. (Bestbuy, Frys, Walmart, etc.)

[wownabril]

@sparta139 No no no.... Just stick your Power supply into your wall and turn it of and then you just touch a metal part of your case all thatother nonsence is just robber stories.

[ircanhaspie]

@sparta139 cant you just hold your hand on the case?

[sparta139]

@ircanhaspie You can do that also.

[lukeluke2115]

@sparta139 How would holding your hand on the case help?

[LHsVideoFX]

5 ppl didnt wear an anti-static braclet :P

[joker28666]

@LHsVideoFX actually you can just tap something metal every 1 minute and the discharges goes there so its not that important

[zodiark619]

Dude, use a tripod next time.

[TheEvenstar1993]

[LeM8oR]

[tooyjfwn]

[Nightmare198922]

0:16 it could have now switches. Than you have to unplug the power supply cable.

[dragobloxs9]

oh it is cod4 songs

[dragobloxs9]

lol cod4 song XD OR maybe not ut it reminded me of it

[DirtyWarry]

Do all PC's run ALL graphics cards? And are graphics cards and video cards the same thing?

[sparta139]

@DirtyWarry Yes, make sure you check what graphics card your motherboard accepts. And yes Graphics Cards and VIdeo Cards are the same thing

[DirtyWarry]

@sparta139 How do I know which graphics cards my motherboard will accept?

[sparta139]

@DirtyWarry Check the box, motherboards today usually accepts PCI-E Graphics Cards

[DirtyWarry]

@sparta139 What the box of my computer?

[ircanhaspie]

@sparta139 I dont have the box is there another way to check?

[sparta139]

@ircanhaspie You can always look online. Just make sure you know the brand and model of the motherboard.

[ikearocks12]

@Tande1782 aslong as you are "grounded" it's fine not to wear one, I just make sure i am always holding a steel part of the case at the same time.

[TheEsaful]

Does better Graphics Card increase computer performance?

Or is it better to buy new CPU?

[TheMircast]

@TheEsaful CPU. Graphics card is for visuals, like gaming or editing.

[WassaAlan]

do u have to wear an anti-static bracelet to replace?
