How do I install my sound card?

Do you mean AGP?Originally posted by er_liang89:graphics card in for the VGA slot. -
yes you can. but one is AGP the other must be PCI.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:I didn't know you can use 2 graphics cards together. Surprisingly, Windows never crash. Use either the old or new one. If the old one is integrated with the motherboard, disable it after installing the new graphic card. Don't be so dumb and disable it before installing new one. You won't see anything if you do so.
The AGP output cable goes to the PCI card. CArd output goes to monitor -
when i tried remove the old on and put in the new one, the monitor did not show 'no input detected' sign. instead, it just remains black. the old one can still work when i exchanged back.

Either motherboard don't support it (quite rare, never see before) or the new card is damaged. Try the new card on another PC. If it works, could be motherboard don't support (but frankly, I have no idea this can happen).Originally posted by er_liang89:when i tried remove the old on and put in the new one, the monitor did not show 'no input detected' sign. instead, it just remains black. the old one can still work when i exchanged back. -
AGP slot quite obvious de ma, slightly shorter then the others slotsOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:The one which the card can fit is the slot. But very risky if other slots also the same size. Check manual the best. -
Haha, I know. But I don't have a habit of checking manuals, so I usually just anyhow plug in. Got one time wrong, so now I check in case only.Originally posted by FBI:AGP slot quite obvious de ma, slightly shorter then the others slots

Check ur mobo's AGP specs and ur new AGP graphics card's spec. Are they compatiable?
Some eariler gen mobo doesn't support the newer 8x AGP cards. If they do support forward comptability, check if ur mobo's BIOS are updated to support it. -
