-Locate slot type you need. This will either AGP or PCI. The AGP is usually a brown colored slot close to the CPU. The PCI is a slot very similar to the AGP except it is white in color.
-Install Card into slot. Push firmly from both side and evenly. If card is having a hard time getting in simply push in a little from front then to back. If you are still having problems, loosen the motherboard so you have some play in it. This can be a real help at times, especially in a new installation.
