Turn off your machine, open it, put the power cord back in (the wall socket to off position though) and have everything ready. Touch the metal part of the QS (not any electronics!). Handle both cards by the edges only (just look and don't touch the electronic looking bits). Gently rock the existing resident length-wise till it feels a bit loose and pull straight up then. Reverse action for replacing. Press firmly in. Close up and that's about it. The rest is easy enough when you start up, check your monitor control panel and screens for the correct res and set up. -- dorayme --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
