   It shouldn't be too hard, as long as all the proper drivers came with   
   the card, and you have an open PCI slot.  Open it up, touch a metal part   
   of the case before handling the card.  remove a back plate on an open   
   PCI slot.  Slip it in there, turn on your computer, and install the   
   drivers.
