Hello again
To upgrade my graphics I need to add a new graphics 'card'. I
currently have 'Integrated Graphics' which I understand to be a chip
on the motherboard?. Do I have to remove this chip before fitting the
new 'card' .
This is not really a Windows question, and is really off topic here.
However...
No. You didn't physically remove it, you just disable its functionality. You
do that in the BIOS setup program.
Is the new 'card' a card or a chip ?
It's a card, with many chips and other components on it.
Where do I plug it
in ?
In a free slot on your motherboard. The slot will be PCI, PCI Express, or
AGP, depending on your motherboard. Consult your system documentation to
find out which.
Although this isn't hard to do, since this is obviously something you've
never done before, rather than do it yourself you might want to ask a more
knowledgeable friend for help.
