Default upgrading graphic card

Upgrading a video card will not cause any problems that I have seen at
all......7600 gt is a good card....Had one but upgraded to a 7900

Take other advice too but yes, it sounds like a good plan to me and should
not affect your activation, however if you can clone or at least use
something like Acronis to back up the entire hard drive first I would most
certainly advise that you do so. If activation problems arise do NOT use
the backup until you replace original hardware.

I am going to upgrade my graphics card from and Nvidia 6600gt 128meg to a
7600gt 256 meg card.
Is this going to cause activation problems? Also under XP I would
normally remove the drivers, shutdown the system, remove old card and
install the new one and reboot. Then reinstall the new drivers does this
sound like the right plan.

TIA
