What the stuff is hisdigital?

After you install the card, you go onto either nvidia's or ATI's website (depending on which you get)
nVidia has a feature to automatically detect which drivers you need, I don't know if ATI does but all you need to know is what OS you have and what video card you got.

Try standing on the computer case door

Stand on it? What are you hoping to accomplish with this, bend the hell out of it?

Steve is spurting stuff. You don't need to stand on your case door. When you put your card you might want to touch a little bit of your case. You don't really even need to. It's all about static which isn't really a problem unless you were just running around your carpet with socks on.

Yus, and standing on it prevents shocking!!1
Also, you're not going to bend the damn case unless your fat as hell.

I'd go for the second one, the Catalyst Software Suite

ok,the onboard is Nvidia but the new one is Ati,so should i disable the old one then install the new one?
wtf

Are you stupid.

On-Board means it's on the motherboard and nvidia doesn't make motherboards.

don't buy graphics cards if you don't know stuff about it.

Ironic because you would have known to install this in 10 minutes if you read the tigerdirect tutorials.
