    Can a virus remain on a graphics card if the card is used in another PC?

    Hi.  I'm asking this question for a friend.  I think he is running XP.  He would like to use a graphics card from an old, infected PC.  Can a virus remain on the card?   
    Thanks for you help, I'm new and it looks like you have a great forum.

    Viruses do not transfer themselves to video cards. Yes, you can use it.
