it cant kill YOU but it CAN frag your card to pieces as well as your computer. to put it in, go onto a tiled surface and place your computer on a countertop of some sort. MAKE SURE you along with all wires ARE NOT touching anything that may generate electricity as well as it is not plugged in anywhere. before u install it, touch a metal surface to ground yourself and hold that the entire time you insert the card. then open the packaging, grab the card and slide it in with 1 hand all the while holding the metal surface to continue yourself being grounded. reminder: plastic wrapping or anything like that = bad news. avoid at all costs |

Since when did that happen? Static electricity neutralizes the charge in the card, thus rendering it useless. Never heard of it, as you say *fragging*, it. By the way, what is *fragging?* :ph34r: |
