What's the best 'budget' graphics card?

(ie. -£100.)

Are the ATI RADEON 9600's good? Especially for FPS's, like Return to Castle Wolfenstien... Nothing amazing, but good for online gaming anyway.

Or are nVidia the best?

You usncrew and take the old one out and slot the new one in, you'll need to push it a little to get it firmly in, but you shouldn't need to push excessively. Then you screw in the card where there's the little screw shaped hole. It'll be obvious once you have a look inside.

Yeah, I've checked out a guide to installing RAM, which is simple.

But how do you install a graphics card? I mean, I know where the slot is but do you just push it in?

Well on mine the side panel sort of slots out after you, like, do something, uh yeah, but yours is most likely screwed in at the back, you just unscrew the screws and you can lift it off.

At the back of the side there will be some screws. You turn them until the they come out. Then you slide the side off.

You don't actually screw anything in really. It all slots together inside.

But that's what I mean, taking off the side of the case.

How do you do that? Are there just some screws or something? (Is PC upgrade n00b)
