wats a passive card? yeah, ill try to find a place to recycle the card

thank you for all your help. i bought an nvidia 8600 gt gpu. what should i do with my old card? just throw it out?

yeah i have xp. is there something i can do to prevent my future card from dyin on me? so, any card will fit my computer? nvidia and ati?

i kinda figured something out bout the removal. the back of my computer (with all the wires and ports) kinda swings out near where the gpu card is. now do i just pull on the card and it comes out?? cuz there seems to be some blue plastic thing at the bottom where it connects to the motherboard...
