im going to transfer my sound and graphics card from my home computer to my
work computer, it's the first time i have attempted to do something like
this, but i've heard that certain precautions must be taken to ensure the
hardware isn't damaged, could someone please tell me how to carry out this
procedure safely.
TIA

get some anti-static baggies and some packing materials, put the cards
in their own bags and boxes, pack them up, carry them there, and be sure
to ground yourself.  this is only a rough description, someone else will
no doubt add more to this, but i've given you a good idea of what to do

hey, if my reply was the best you got, you are going to be amazed the
replies you'll get from this group (alt.msdos.programmer).  we are the
nicest bunch of nerds you'll find (maybe alt.computer is nicer, i post
there too).  also, just so you know your post is kinda off topic because
it doesn't have anything to do with programming for msdos
