not really.
Just open the case and follow the instruction manual that comes with the card. Make sure that you purchase the proper type of card. Like I mentioned before, according to the search I did a while back, it looks like you PC can hold a either a PCI or PCI-e card. But you need to know if those slots are taken already. If you follow Esconder's link for everest and download it, you can run a report for the hardware and it will tell what slots are currently in use. Post it here if you can't make sense of it and well tell you if you need to move anything around or purchase another card to replace something etc..
