toothless
this is mr shadow,my support cat
i havent fiddled with the innards of a PC since i was into PC gaming years ago and my brain having been damaged multiple times from different incidents has lost the skills i learned back then.
so i have been asked to put a graphics card into a PC for a mate/a guy who lives in the supported housing block next door and im up for it,but im just wondering how easy it is and will i need to install the drivers straight after-or before?
i took him to the PC shop to get the PC,and i translated all the specs for him and translated what he wanted to the shop guy,i used to buy all my bits from the same place,its a awesome PC case hes got and the innards arent bad-he wants to run total war rome 2 on it and it will play with the added graphics card.
just one more question, given the motherboard has onboard graphics,will there be a slot available for the graphics card?
as an aside,im trying to go on a FE college course that lets you build PCs and work with linux but theyre all for people who are at GCSE level,it is not fair,im capabale once i relearn,im just not academic-i process information slowly plus have issues with understanding language if i dont have a dictionary/thesaurus to hand and im not confident enough to ask the person to repeat in another way.
ive got an appointment at a college next week with someone to see if they have a suitable course or service,i got a feeling they wont have anything for people who are not academic but are very good with computers.
it really piddles me off that courses designed for people with intellectual disability all assume we are useless on computers and are all beginners,i taught various teachers in college about computers and how to fix them when they were trying to teach fellow students how to use a mouse properly or learn how to send an email.
sorry,i waffle on to long,its a throwback from being non verbal.
