I want to play Rome:Total War but my PC is pretty rubbish and rejected the demo I tried to play.

Anyway, most of the specs are fine but I'm pretty sure my graphics card is next to useless. So, help me pick a new one... how hard is it to install without me killing myself?

Toast vs. PC World?... Toast2Win. Probably more intelligent life on a slice of taost then in the entire PC world Chain of stores!

Unscrew the thing on the back, take out the old graphics card, plug the new one in, screw the thing on back on.

:)

And if you want a card that'll last you a while I'd go for the Radeon 9800, 9800pro/Xt.

It's super easy providing your computer has an AGP port.
