Those PCI slots, are they PCIe? I mention this because of the Vid Card type.
Remember to make a restore point using system restore before doing anything so you can roll back to where you started from.
To install the new card all you have to do is uninstall the drivers, it will then go back to windows standard vga mode. Then you can shut down the system and remove old card and install new card.
Have the new drivers ready to go when you boot up. The BIOS might also have a setting which type to use by default..AGP - PCIe, but it still should see it.
Something I recommend to anyone. Stick a second drive in your system and use it for data (by data, I mean important files and downloads, music, ect...not game installs). You should still back it up but you don't have to worry about the data if windows takes a dump and you cant recover the C drive.
