Video, Sound and Modem



If your video card/graphics adapter is different.
If you do not have an AGP video card, your card will be a PCI version. This means it will simply be installed in one of your open PCI slots.

If you are installing a separate 3D Accelerator card.
Some people decide not to buy "combo" cards that handle both 2D & 3D graphics. If you are installing a separate 3D Accelerator card, simply install it as you would a video card in a spare PCI slot. Consult the manual that comes with your 3D card for making final connections using the supplied cable.

If you are installing a modem.
The procedure is identical to installing the network card. See our parts list for recommendations regarding modems.
