buying the new card is no problem...

simple task really... all you need to do is install card and install drivers.. you may have to go thru BIOS at startup and disable OnBoard graphics. check this first before installing.

Intel 810 motherboards do not have AGP slots. If you want to upgrade your video you'll have to get a PCI video board. If you want to gather technical information about your computer then you should download a copy of Everest. It can tell you all about what's in your machine.
