Replacing a graphics card

Dopey_Dora_42

Hi,
i need some more computer help please. I want to change my graphics card as it appears not to be working. Can I just go and buy any graphics card or do I have to get like for like. and any ideas where the best place to purchase one quickly is?

Thank you

There is a bit of techie to it

I assume you have a desktop not a laptop
When you take the top/side off the pc you will see the card in a slot - if it is in a slot unlike any others then it is probably an AGP card - if it is in a slot of which there are several it is probably a PCI card - if an AGP slot is empty you might think about using it when you remove the duff PCI

have a look at ebuyer.com for a good range of cards - some moan about poor customer service but they do deliiver

I can think of no good reason why you should have to replace with exactly the same card - unless there i ssomething special about your PC

Hi
Do you know what graphics card you already have? Why is it not working, also I would check your manual that came with your pc, to see which kind of slot you have, and what speed it runs at.

Hope this helps
