There should be a basic diagram for installation with any card you buy,
and since you want an AGP slot card, the AGP slot it goes in is above the
white PCI slots (usually 5 of 'em) AGP is brown and longer. If you have
never worked inside your computer my suggestion would be to get a friend who
has some experience inside his case to do it for you.
Installing the AGP card isn't difficult, but it is dicey, since you
have to be very careful not to bump into other stuff on the motherboard and
push the card into the slot carefully, firmly and fully without too much
pressure. It has to line-up with the opening at the rear of your case as
well.. If you have what I will call 'bad hands' I wouldn't do it.
If you want to do it and would enjoy the learning experience of popping-open
your case; use your browser and see if you can find instructions; that is
another important use of your computer; SEARCH.
