You made sure that they are compatible with your computer, it's not fun to get a supprice when you've opened the box :(

you should also take a look at the port of your cards, you have the following:


AGP, pci & isa:

and you got pci-e (express) and pci-x

the upper white one is also an pci-e

so make sure if you bought a card that has an AGP slot for example, that you have that slot in your computer ;)



btw if i was you i should buy the **** blue card wich is $74.99  ;)

I made that mistake when I bought my 512 card. I bought the card and discovered that I needed a PCI-express slot, which I did not have. It was ok, though. A new motherboard and things were fine. I don't regret the upgrade.
