    Its about as easy as it gets ,

    All you do is remove the side panel of the case ,

    Look for a spare PCI slot ,

    Remove the blank plate on the back that corresponds to that slot ,

    Insert the card in it , it only goes one way , you cant get it wrong , dont forget to put the screw in the plate at the end of the card.

    Put the side panel back on , thats it .

    As far as I know you dont even need drivers , XP or Vista will install those when you boot back up.

    Simple as mentioned, just a slot in card and away you go. :)

    Link to article if you get stuck, but you'll probably be fine.
