Video Card

[kjman87]

So I just purchased a Gateway GT5252 and It has 2 PCI slots, I just got a TV Tuner card and I am looking to upgrade the video capabilities, now the other PCI slot is currently being occupied by what looks to be a modem, it has 2 telephone jacks coming out of the back of the PC, I am using ethernet, would it be a problem for to take out that PCI card so I can install a new Video card in there?

TIA

If you dont use the modem at all for anything then dont see why not. might want to uninstall the drivers too.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I just wasnt sure, I didnt want to screw up any of the system settings by not having a device that the drivers access at boot up or anything...

ohh and one more thing, i was correct in thinking it was a modem, could it be anything else, again the only ports that it has are 2 telephone ones?

It can't be anything else, it's a modem card.
