I ordered a 6800 to repalce my old MX420.

What should be the steps to replace the graphics card? I have heard something about cleaning all previous drivers (I had a friend's 9600Pro installed once too).

Also, will my AGP 4x slot me same as where the MX420 was?

Thanks a lot
 
uninstall old drivers (add/remove programs)
run Driver Cleaner
shut down comp
take out old card
put in new card
start comp
install new drivers
reboot

Exactly what i did when i upgraded my 9800pro to a x800xtpe

**Yes put the 6800 in the same spot as the old card

 

So, first use Add/Remove programs and uninstall the drivers.

Then restart comp in safe mode.

Run Driver Cleaner.

Then take out old card and put in the new one.

Install new drivers.

Right?
