ATI Shows Monkey Upgrading PC With New GPU

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

A nutless monkey could do your upgrade.

We've all been around computers long enough to know that upgrading a graphics card is an easy job. Yes, opening up the computer case and swapping cards may look like open heart surgery to those unfamiliar with the procedure, which is why so "experts" who handle this sort of thing for non-savvy gamers can command such a high fee. But, to paraphrase Les Grossman, a nutless monkey could do the job.

See?

Upgrading graphics - So easy, a monkey can do it!

The video above was a stunt by AMD to prove just how easy it really is (obviously in an effort to convince people to go out and upgrade to a new DirectX 11 Radeon card). Of course, it's not exactly monkey see, monkey do for the process, so here a more helpful video for those seeking the true tutorial.

I'd like to see a monkey upgrade the graphics in my laptop. Then I wouldn't want a new one.

AMD have a jingle (of sorts)? Hmm... shouldn't they, umm, be doing an Intel and getting vendors to use it on their ads?

Having said that, it's a lot longer than the Intel one and not as catchy, so perhaps not. :)
