Video card change

I am about the change my video card, and I am afraid of any malfunction on the way. Any advise before I start?

Firstly, ensure that you get a video card that is supported on your motherboard. Remember to uninstall all present graphics drivers before removing the old GPU. Check that your PSU is sufficient to power your new graphics card.

It would be helpful if you tell us what your system specs are and what GPU you are considering to purchase.

thank you for the answer

I run a Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz, 2.99 GHz, 2.50 GB of RAM, Windows XP Ultimate Edition, Intel (R), Service Pack 3

I will have to open the case to check the PSU, but I think it is good.

My computer right now has a nvidia GeForce FX 5200 (Gateway) and an Intel(R) 82810 Graphics Controller.

I am replacing for a Diamond Multimedia ATI9250 256\M 128BIT PCI TV DVI because I want to connect two monitors.
