Rastavovich 0 Posted December 5, 2001 You opened your CPU? I don`t believe that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dpillay 0 Posted December 5, 2001 oh yeah --- been itching to that for a long time:) the SiS is in the AGP slot -- so i have to remove it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gamer 10 Posted December 5, 2001 My sugesstion to you is close the cover on your computer b4 you hurt it or yourself....... Get someone over your house to show you what to do ...... read some guides on the net .......... You obviously have not got a clue what your doing and your just gonna make more problems and become more confused as you go . But if you must...... 1. Remove old drivers(read how on the net)...Install standard display adapter(read how on the net) 2. Ground yourself b4 you start poking around inside your rig 3. Switch off machine at plug,Remove connector from back of card, Gently remove old card from AGP slot 4. Place new card in making sure it is properly seated. 5. Switch power on, Start up, windoz will ask for location of drivers(you should have already downloaded them from the nVidia site) and install drivers. 6. Adjust settings to your liking......... might wanna try www.guru3d.com  think they got guides there....... Do some research before hand though ..................

Dpillay 0 Posted December 6, 2001 why not? take a screw driver and voila --- actually it was good --- i finally came to know the model no. of my VIA chipset! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadDog 0 Posted December 6, 2001 Because the CPU should NEVER be prised opened. You *can* open the 'Base Unit' though... (you might invalidate your warranty though). Dave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gamer 10 Posted December 6, 2001 look man I sugest you go to that link I provided above...... The CPU means central processing unit which means its your processor( the chip that does all the work......) You took the COVER off your COMPUTER you did not open your CPU.... you cannot open a CPU just do like i said a READ UP ON IT.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 6, 2001 What's your gateway model? Â I'll check for you. Â Unless something amazing happened last night, there are no motherboards with 2 agp slots. EDIT: So how the heck are you going to put in a "shiny new 64mb?" next to your tnt2 if you don't open the case?
