ATI Shows Monkey Upgrading PC With New GPU
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 think that showing the monkey bitting its hands in dispair doesnt send the right message... xD
Makes me want to barf.
Real video's not bad though!
+10 for recommending a vaccuum!
-4 for sleeves...
+1 for the existence of the video though. good work AMD.
Static electricity? That graphic card will be shocked to death.
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.
that monkey looks pissed
Lmao, had so many m8's come to me for a new amachine after using a vaccuum and killing their machine xD

+1 Amd, more business for me
funy, but i hope that people see the second video if they really want to change it
Honnestly...I think the monkey is smarter than some people I know.
