I am running XP Home and plan to install a new Avg video card. Can I just take the old one out pop the new one in and then install the drivers with out no problems. Thanks Bruce

No you need to uninstall your previous drivers, before installing the new drivers.

And if its not asking to much, run a driver cleaner! lol

P4-2800->FSB800, Asus P4P800, 512DDR-400, Creative GeForce DDR (the first one lol)

Depends on type/brand of card, version of driver allready installed.

Ie. If your installing a new card of the same brand - Nvidia for example, and you allready have the new/current driver installed running the previous card, all you have to do is(there's many ways to do it) device manager - remove graphic adapter and shut down.

Then take out previous card and install new and reboot.
