news flash for you genius, PCI-E slots

are much faster then agp. agp is an

outdated slow way of using a graphics

card. my advice? NEVER NEVER use

an agp slot if you have a PCI-E slot.

Actually, before you go saying shit, genius. I DID say agp was being outdated by PCI-E, also FYI PCI 2.0 is the new best now and pci-e is turning into the new outdated bus slot, i did not talk about pic-e much in this video simply because i dont have one in that computer and simply use picture examples instead. Itd be a good idea to listen more instead of saying stupid pointless shit. good day to you sir.

Hi useful video guide.

I want to upgrade my graphics card to the PALIT 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 460 SONIC GRAPHICS CARD from the ATI HD4350 1GB Graphics card . Is there a problem there? Or is it easy to do? Its for my sons PC and I have never changed a graphics card before. Many thanks for any wisdom in advance.

My current pc spec is

- AMD Athlon II 250 3.0GHz Processor

# 4GB 800Mhz DDR2 RAM

# 500GB Hard drive

# DVD RW

# motherboard: ASROCK N68C-s UCC

# ATI HD4350 1GB Graphics card

No, it's called ACPOS.
