I just wanna ask a few questions if you guys don't mind :D .

Are graphic cards plug & play devices? Does it depends on if it is an AGP card or a PCI card?

Which is one is more harder to install or setup?

If graphic cards are not plug & play devices, how do you setup them up, is it hard?


Thanks alot

Depending on your system, OS, and video card, yeah video cards are typically plug and play - you slot it in, turn on the PC and when Windows boots it should autodetect it and (if it's got it) load the correct driver. If it doesn't have the correct driver it'll ask you to provide one.

Easy as to set up, and AGP would be the way to go.
