Installation and Setup

     A new Graphics Card is one of the most expensive upgrades you'll ever make, but installing one is extremely easy. The average computer enthusiast can swap out a graphics card in about 5 minutes or less. ATi and Microsoft has also made installing drivers extremely easy as well. A few point and clicks and you're done.

Test System

     For this review I'll be using a test system based on ABIT's AA8 DuraMAX motherboard and P4 3.4GHz CPU.
