For the Motherboard.
The wonderful people which had replied, said that it will. Now the question is, what one of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] should i choose? Lowest price = best.

You will probaly be able to decode it. Price matters. :P
some quick steps
its not all the hard, also try to do this outside (not raining) and dont do it on a carpet (static electricity might/will kill parts in your computer/videocard)
1. uninstall your drivers for your old one
2. turn off computer and unplug it
3. open case and get a can of air ready (if you don clean your computer lots that is)
4. some video cards have a power cable going to them that are off the back part of that card - unplug it
5. on your case, you need to find a way to unattach the card (on the back part of the computer where you plug your monitor into
-> a) some have thumb screws on the out side of the case that lifts up a door so you can take the card out
-> b) you will need a screw driver to undo the 1 screw holding the metal bracket to the case - dont lost the screw, you still need it ;p
6. on the motherboard at the back end of the slot (closers to the middle of the MB) there will be a small lever (usually white) - press it down and the card will left out abit
7. take the card out gently trying only to grab the edges of the card - try not to touch the bottom of top of the card
8. do the rest of the septs backwards to put the card back in ;p
9. when you boot up your computer - go to the nvidia website and DL the newest drivers **[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
